Special counsel Robert Mueller said in a court filing Friday that his prosecutors will not present evidence regarding Trump campaign collusion with Russia at an upcoming trial for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
“The government does not intend to present at trial evidence or argument concerning collusion with the Russian government,” reads a filing submitted by Mueller’s team in federal court in Virginia on Friday.
The filing sheds light on one of the largest questions looming over the Manafort case. Mueller’s prosecutors have indicted Manafort in federal court in Virginia and Washington, D.C., on a slew of charges related to his consulting work for former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

Manafort ended the work in 2014, and it has been unclear whether Mueller’s team planned to reveal evidence about President Donald Trump or the campaign.
Maybe it’s because the evidence doesn’t exist.
I’m not sure tht will be the left’s spin… lol.
“The government does not [have] evidence or argument concerning collusion with the Russian government …”
Fixed it in the interests of candor toward the tribunal.
PUTIN DEATH THREATS QUASH MUELLER PROBE!!!!!
Like that but in 72 point headlines.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. They’ll try something else. How about they will disclose the evidence at the Gen. Flynn sentencing? Yeah, that’s it.
…because THESE charges are WAY more serious than any Russian collusion thus making the case for Trump’s impeachment even MORE solid.
or
Russian collusion evidence is TOP SECRET and cannot be shared with the American public.
?!?
Well, this is in a obama appointed judge courtroom so she will not ask about the SC limits or the scope of their investigation.
He will get no breaks.
The Leftist Spin Cycle will claim that this proves that Donald J. Trump was connected to corrupt people throughout his entire life. This is proof enough for them to conclude that the Russians colluded with Macedonian Content Farmers, White Women, Carter Page, and the racist white, slave owning Founding Fathers who created the Electoral College to prevent President Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton from assuming her rightful place as President of a couple of coasts.
Mueller doesn’t need it in the Manafort trial.
Wait for the next one. Its all going according to plan.
#impeachtrump
Kitties and babies. Look
So this is still a thing?
Wake me after the 2020 election…
Could it be because COLLUSION is not a crime. There is no law on the books even mentioning it as a crime. To be charged with something there must be a law against it and the law must mention what the crime is. Collusion is a buzz-word more or less grabbed out of the air by the media to make what they claim Trump did sound really nasty.
You can’t charge me with sneezing if there’s no law against sneezing that specifically mentions the act.
Anything to keep anyone from finding out there is no evidence to go after president Trump, et al.
