Arraignment set for March 2 on the indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Virginia against Paul Manafort and Rick Gates
And there's more: Per the newly unsealed docket entries in Virginia, we now know that the grand jury first indicted Manafort alone on Feb. 13 (assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4388…), before returning the superseding indictment against Manafort and Gates on Feb. 22 (assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4388…)
After the grand jury returned the indictment on Feb. 13, Paul Manafort was originally scheduled to appear in Virginia for an arraignment on Feb. 23. But on Feb. 22 — the day the grand jury returned the superseding indictment that added Gates — that court date was cancelled
On Feb. 13, when the grand jury in VA indicted Paul Manafort, the special counsel's office asked to seal it, saying revealing it "would jeopardize ongoing plea discussions and the identity of a cooperating witness cited in the Indictment" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4388…
The Feb. 13 Manafort indictment refers to Rick Gates by name and also as "Conspirator A" (see the side-by-side pics of the Feb. 13 v. Feb. 22 indictments)
Threading together the timing of the Feb. 13 VA indictment against Manafort alone, the Feb. 13 reference to plea negotiations, the Feb. 22 superseding indictment against Manafort *and* Gates in VA, and Gates' Feb. 23 guilty plea in the DC case
