WASHINGTON - The federal judge overseeing the upcoming second trial of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort on Tuesday set opening arguments in the trial for Sept 24.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson said jury selection would begin on Sept 17.
She called the schedule a compromise between Manafort's request for a one week delay and the government's request to start the trial as previously scheduled on Sept 17.
