WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – A US federal judge has set a hearing for Tuesday to address allegations that President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort broke his plea deal by lying to investigators, court orders showed on Monday.<\/b>
\n\u00ab\u00a0In lieu of the defence submission that is due on December 12,2018, it is ORDERED that a scheduling conference is set,\u00a0\u00bb Judge Amy Berman Jackson said in a pair of court orders that scheduled the hearing for Tuesday at 3 p.m.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller said in a court filing last month that Manafort broke his plea deal by lying about his contacts with Russian officials and the White House while he was in prison.
Manafort reached the plea agreement with Mueller in September after a jury found him guilty of eight charges of tax evasion and bank fraud by a jury in the US state of Virginia in August.<\/p>\n
