At federal court in DC for 3PM hearing in the Manafort case, the first since Friday when Mueller’s team detailed the former Trump campaign chairman’s post-plea lies. Stay tuned. huffingtonpost.com/entry/robert-m…
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson calls this a "very well attended scheduling conference." Says she'd like to see detailed allegations ahead of future hearing to determine if Manafort lied after plea agreement.
Manafort lawyer says they're not completely sure a hearing is necessary, and that it depends on what the government's position is on whether that will impact sentencing. Suggests there's a possibility they won't contest allegations Manafort lied after plea deal.
Manafort attorney says decision about whether there needs to be a hearing on whether Manafort lied will be in part based on "information we learned today about where this all goes."
