Paul Manafort, campaign chairman for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, has resigned just two months after taking the helm.
Mr Trump confirmed Mr Manafort's departure in a statement.
He first took control of Mr Trump's campaign after the businessman's campaign manager was fired in June.
Mr Manafort, 67, has come under fire for his ties to Russian interests and former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

New mantra of the dumb down Americans . Blame Russia Putin for all your woes.
Clinton Email hacked and they blamed Russia with no proof . This conveniently shifted the conversation from the rigged system that Clinton , Debbie Wasserman and the DNC to deny Bernie Sanders the nomination .
They are now pushing the Paul Manafort , Putin , Yanukovych connection ,conveniently forgetting that Manafort also worked for Reagan and Bush senior.
