MORE DETAILS

This is the first trial stemming from charges brought by Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russia’s interference in the campaign.

Prosecutors have said they do not intend to delve into questions about collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in this case, which focuses on how Manafort handled the money he earned working as a consultant in Ukraine.

The trial is expected to last at least three weeks, and a second trial is scheduled to follow starting in September. In that case, Manafort will face related charges in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia.
