A federal appeals court has turned down former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s request for immediate release from jail in advance of two federal criminal trials he is facing.
A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order Thursday afternoon denying a request to let him out as the court continues to consider his appeal of a district court judge’s order last month revoking the house arrest he’d been under since October.
