On Tuesday, Judge T.S. Ellis sought to address Manaforts complaint about the remoteness of the jail by ordering him moved from the current facility in Warsaw, Virginia, to a jail in Alexandria closer to his attorneys and his home.
Manafort responded by asking that he be allowed to stay in Warsaw, citing concerns about safety and the challenges he will face in adjusting to a new place of confinement two weeks before trial.
On Wednesday,
Ellis denied Manaforts request and ordered him moved to the Alexandria Detention Center, rejecting the notion that he would not be safe there. The Alexandria jail had experience with high-profile defendants including foreign and domestic terrorists, spies and traitors, Ellis wrote.
Also on Wednesday, Muellers office filed a motion in the Washington case notifying the court of its intent to present evidence at trial about a Justice Department inspection into Manaforts lobbying activities in the 1980s.
