A federal judge Friday dismissed a challenge brought by Paul Manafort to special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIās criminal probe of Russian interference in 2016 U.S. elections, ruling that Manafort may not use a lawsuit to thwart his prosecution.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson tossed out the attempt by Manafort, President Trumpās former campaign chairman, to bar the special counsel from bringing future charges against him. The judge cited the āsound and well-established principleā that potential defendants cannot ācircumvent federal criminal procedureā that already permits individuals to challenge charges within criminal proceedings.
