Special counsel Robert Mueller’s office is apparently fed up with Paul Manafort’s efforts to delay his upcoming trial.

Prosecutors filed a motion Wednesday opposing a continuance requested by Manafort’s attorneys, one day after defense lawyers unexpectedly asked the court to keep their client at the Virginia jail where he’s currently being held, reported NPR.

U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis ordered defense attorneys and prosecutors to appear July 17 in court for oral arguments on delaying the trial.

President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman is being held on witness tampering charges as he awaits trial on fraud, money laundering and other charges related to the Russia probe.

we are really seeing how dismissive the rich are about our laws and constitution.
It could be very eye-opening—if it ever gets underway.

Robert Mueller's team claims Paul Manafort has special privileges behind bars and plenty of access to his defense team.

The circumstances of Paul Manafort's pre-trial detention have caused a bit of court drama.

Manafort has been in jail since June 15. He's awaiting two separate trials — one in Washington, D.C., and one in Alexandria, Virginia.

On July 6, Manafort's attorneys filed a motion to delay his Alexandria trial. They claimed they needed more time to prepare their defense, and they pointed to the location of Manafort's jail as part of the problem.

The judge responded by ordering the U.S. Marshal Service to move Manafort from a jail in Warsaw, Virginia, to one in Alexandria. But defense attorneys opposed that move, citing concerns about Manafort's safety.
