Lawyers for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort pressed on April 9 with their drive to knock out key evidence against their client, asking a federal judge to declare that a warrant used to search Manafort’s condo in Alexandria, Virginia, last July was invalid due to its sweeping nature.
Manafort’s defense team said the fact that modern communications are stored on computers exacerbated the excessive scope of the search warrant, issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge Theresa Buchanan at the request of prosecutors working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
