A federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, has postponed Paul Manafort's bank and tax fraud trial by about a week after defense attorneys said they needed more time to review documents handed over by prosecutors. Judge T.S. Ellis III did not give an explanation for his ruling Monday, but jurors will still report to the court Wednesday for questionnaires. Lawyers for the special counsel and Manafort gathered in Ellis's courtroom in the Eastern District of Virginia Monday to settle various pretrial motions, including Manafort's lawyers' bid to continue his trial, which was scheduled to begin Wednesday with jury selection. At the heart of Manafort's lawyers' effort to delay the trial Monday was, in the judge's words, the special counsel office's “data dump” of materials Manafort's lawyers need to review before Wednesday. Most records are from Manafort's bookkeeper—about 49,000 pages' worth, according to Manafort lawyer Kevin Downing—as well as data from Rick Gates' phones and laptop. Gates was a longtime Manafort associate who began cooperating with the special counsel's prosecutors in February. Prosecutor Uzo Asonye said that much of the information from Manafort's bookkeeper had been held up in privilege review. “As soon as we receive them from taint review, we produce them,” Asonye said. Downing, who shook his head in disagreement, said Manafort's legal team did not have access to those records, nor did he get them from Manafort's previous lawyers at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr. He said Manafort's bookkeeper, who was subpoenaed by the government, would only turn over records if the legal team paid for their production. But they declined to do so, citing the “cheaper” method of obtaining them through discovery.
