Manafort in solitary confinement: lawyers


Recommended Posts

Lawyers for Paul Manafort, US President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, say their client has been in solitary confinement as he awaits trial on financial charges.

They say Manafort is locked in a jail cell in Virginia for 23 hours a day, excluding visits from his lawyers, and has been in solitary confinement because the facility cannot guarantee his safety.

Manafort was jailed last month after a federal judge revoked his house arrest over allegations of witness tampering in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

His lawyers are asking a federal appeals court to overturn the judge's order and release him under certain conditions as he awaits trial later this month in Alexandria, Virginia, and later this fall in Washington, DC.

The lawyers say his detention makes it "effectively impossible" for Manafort to prepare for trial.

They also say US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who is presiding over Manafort's case in Washington and who ordered him to jail, did not analyse carefully enough whether Manafort had actually committed witness tampering

"Independently, the alleged evidence of obstruction is so thin that it cannot reasonably support the determination that no set of conditions could ensure Mr Manafort's appearance and the safety of the community," Thursday's court filing states.

Manafort is one of four Trump campaign or White House aides to have been charged in Mueller's investigation.

Three others - George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn and Rick Gates - have pleaded guilty and agreed to co-operate with investigators.

Separately on Friday, Manafort's lawyers asked for his trial in Virginia to be moved to Roanoke - much further away from Washington - because of pre-trial publicity.
