Paul Manafort's reply was due at 10am to materials that Mueller's office submitted last week re: evidence the govt says shows Manafort lied after pleading guilty. Nothing is on the docket, but for the past few filing deadlines lawyers have initially filed under seal
It's possible (and likely, given past practice) that Manafort's lawyers filed under seal, in which case we'll see an order from the court about that later (parties later made redacted versions public). Other scenarios are that they missed the deadline, or decided not to file
There it is: Manafort's lawyers did, indeed, file their reply (which was due today by 10am) under seal. Here's the order from the judge allowing Manafort to file under seal, and ordering him to make a redacted version publicly available 
JUST IN: Here is Paul Manafort's reply to materials Mueller's office submitted last week re: whether he lied. His lawyers dispute that the evidence supports the conclusion that he intentionally lied. (It appears the redactions are properly done this time) assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5692…
Manafort's lawyers: "Rather, when placed in proper context, much of the evidence presented by the OSC merely demonstrates a lack of consistency in Mr. Manafort’s recollection of certain facts and event"
A hearing in Manafort's DC case is scheduled for Friday. Manafort's lawyers just filed notice that Manafort wants to waive his appearance — Manafort has opted out of attending the last few hearings in DC
An aside: Manafort's lawyers use the acronym "OSC" for Mueller's office, but that's what's normally used for the Office of Special Counsel, which is a totally unrelated office that works with govt whistleblowers. Mueller's acronym is "SCO" — Special Counsel's Office
Just in: Paul Manafort *will* be in court on Friday — the judge just denied his request to waive his presence
Update: Now that the judge is requiring Paul Manafort to be in court on Friday, his lawyers are asking if he can wear a suit, instead of a jail uniform
Update: The judge will let Paul Manafort wear a suit when he comes to court tomorrow (and at any future appearances)
