Special adviser Robert Mueller, who is directing the inquiry about the Russian interference in the presidential election in 2016, has appealed a judge for 35 citations in the blank, as one of the actions of its trial versus Paul Manafort, the ex-chairman of the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.
Hypothetically, this request means that federal prosecutors could appeal to the testimonies of exactly 35 witnesses that might assert against Paul Manafort.
“It is respectfully requested that the Clerk of said Court issue subpoenas as indicated below for appearance before said Court at Alexandria Virginia, in the United States District Court at 10:00 o’clock am, on 10th day of July 2018, then and there to testify on behalf of the United States,” states Mueller’s request document which was listed on April 6th by a districtual court in the state of Virginia.
Paul Manafort pleaded not guilty to allegations of illegalities such as fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.
“Specifically given the nature of the charges against the defendant and the apparent weight of the evidence against him, the defendant faces the very real possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison,” wrote Judge Thomas Selby Elliss III in a court order.
Manafort’s lawyers work on dropping the allegations which are not linked to the 2016 elections
Mr. Paul Manafort is a renowned political operative with strong bonds to the Republicans and has spent a substantial share of his work as a political adviser in Ukraine.
In reply to the accusations, the lawyer of Paul Manafort has claimed that any allegation that’s not directly connected to the US presidential election of 2016 has to be discarded.

“The conduct alleged here was not discovered because of the special counsel’s investigation into alleged coordination; nor was it ‘demonstrably related to’ that investigation,” says a document in the support of Mr. Paul Manafort, which also mentions that few alleged tax infractions would have transpired before Donald Trump even submitted his candidacy to the presidential elections of 2016.
