Judge denies Manafort 's request to suppress evidence

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A federal judge on Wednesday denies a request by President Donald Trump's to form a campaign manager Paul Manafort to suppress evidence by the FBI colluded with Russia.

Manafort's lawyers had sought to limit the scope of evidence Washington, DC, claiming that the search warrant was overly broad and unconstitutional.

"Given the nature of the investigation, the warrant was not too broad in scope," wrote Judge Amy Berman Jackson for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in her ruling.

Wednesday's decision marks for the world of setbacks for Manafort, who is facing two criminal trials in Washington and neighboring Alexandria, Va. in connection with lobbying work done for the pro-Russia Ukrainian government.

His Virginia trial is slated to begin next week, though his lawyers are looking for delay and judgment in Judge T.S. Ellis for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Between the two cases, he faces a burden of the costs of a bankruptcy and a fraudulent offense.

He is currently being held in an Alexandria jail, after Jackson revoked his lease after prosecutors filed new charges alleging he was trying to tamper with witnesses while under house arrest.
