Judge proposes May 7 trial date for Paul Manafort, Rick Gates

The trial date for President Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates has been proposed for May 7.

U.S. District Judge Amy Jackson said she will hear arguments from both parties on Nov. 6 about the trial state date.

A pretrial statement is due by March 29, and the pretrial conference will be on April 19.

Manafort and Gates both pleaded not guilty on Monday to the 12 charges brought against them in the wide-reaching investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
