A federal judge on Tuesday delayed setting a trial date for President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort, who faces charges stemming from a special counsel’s probe of allegations of Russian interference in the US presidential election.
Defense lawyers said the government had still not produced all the evidence it had gathered, and that they needed more time to pore through it and file the necessary motions.
“We have limited resources,” Manafort’s attorney Kevin Downing said, “We’re not big law firms.”
