Paul Manafort has resigned as Donald Trump's campaign chairman. The move comes after the GOP nominee shook up his campaign structure following multiple missteps and low poll numbers.
Donald Trump released a statement saying he has accepted his resignation.
"This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign. I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success."
