Paul Manafort lost a second attempt to block prosecutors from introducing evidence seized from his Virginia storage unit at one of his trials.
U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III, in Alexandria, Virginia, on Monday denied the former Trump campaign chairman’s request to declare the FBI’s search illegal or suppress the documents. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is using those documents to support claims that Manafort committed bank fraud and tax-related offenses.
