Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort pleaded not guilty to
conspiracy, tax and bank fraud charges in an Alexandria, Va., federal
courtroom Thursday afternoon. Judge T.S. Ellis set a trial date for July
10. Manafort faces a separate federal trial on Sept. 17 on other
charges also brought by special counsel Robert Mueller's office in a
Washington, D.C., case. For the Virginia case, Manafort will be fitted
with a second electronic monitoring bracelet (he is already wearing one
related to the D.C. case) and will be allowed to meet with lawyers,
attend church services and make emergency medical trips as needed.
Ellis, who has been on the bench for 31 years, alternately cracked jokes
and pressed.
