ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Reuters) - The expected star government witness in the criminal trial of U.S. President Donald Trump's onetime election campaign manager Paul Manafort may or "may not" testify, a prosecutor told the judge in court on Wednesday.

The judge in federal court in Virginia asked about plans to call Manafort's business partner Rick Gates. "He may testify in this case, he may not," U.S. prosecutor Uzo Asonye replied.
