Paul Manafort's attorneys say they are going to appeal Judge Amy Berman Jackson's recent decision to keep Paul Manafort behind bars until he's scheduled to stand trial in Washington, DC in September and challenge her April 27th decision that ruled against Manafort's assertion Special Counsel Robert Mueller was operating outside the scope of his authority.
He has been held in a jail in Virginia since Jackson revoked his bond on June 15 after prosecutors presented evidence during a court hearing about Manafort’s alleged efforts to influence witnesses’ testimony.
To date, Manafort has not prevailed in any efforts to dismiss the charges or suppress evidence against him in the Washington case.
In April when Jackson dismissed his civil case challenging Mueller’s authority, the judge found that using a civil case to challenge criminal charges “is not the appropriate vehicle” for attacking prosecutors’ actions.
