JUST IN: Paul Manafort is asking for his Virginia trial to be moved from Alexandria to Roanoke. 
Here's the background on this, from @ZoeTillman last week —> buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/pau…
Here's the motion to change venue: documentcloud.org/documents/4580… / Here's the memo on the motion: documentcloud.org/documents/4580…
This is the most ambitious argument, citing Trump's tweet as evidence there is confusion about what Manafort's pretrial detention means: "Indeed, even the President’s response on Twitter" was inaccurate.
Here's @ZoeTillman's thread on the leaks-related filing by Manafort:
ALSO: New from the Special Counsel's Office. SCO says it will present evidence at trial re: allegations that a sr exec at "Lender D" sought Manafort's assistance (successfully) to get a role advising the Trump campaign. Manafort got 2 big loans from them. documentcloud.org/documents/4580…
The Special Counsel's Office doesn't name "Lender D" or the "senior executive," but NBC News previously reported that Mueller was looking into a similar set of allegations involving Federal Savings Bank and Stephen Calk. nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
JUST IN: Paul Manafort asks the federal court in Virginia to delay his trial there, which is due to start on July 25, until ~after~ his DC trial.
From the memorandum in support of the delay request: "Time is needed to allow passions to cool and to permit the seating of an impartial jury." documentcloud.org/documents/4580…
