Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, President Trump's former campaign chair and deputy, are back in court Tuesday to face the next round of deliberations over outstanding issues – including a proposed start date of May 14th, whether or not Gates violated a gag order, and attempts to adjust bail conditions – as the two sides prepare for trial.

Prosecutors have turned over 590,000 items such as emails, financial records and other documents to the defense teams, a "substantial portion" of the evidence in the case, according to an overview Mueller's office filed Friday.

Manafort and Gates have tried since October to gather the paperwork needed to secure their bail amounts and lift their house arrest. Manafort is securing his bail with more than $10 million in real estate and assets, and will get to live in his home in Florida.
