A Virginia federal district court judge ruled against Special Counsel Robert Mueller on his request for secrecy for information gathered during discover in the trial of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. Judge T.S. Ellis III called the request “excessively broad” and said he would be more receptive if Mueller would describe in detail information deemed too sensitive for the public. Ellis also said Manfort’s alleged conspiracies began in 2005 and ended in 2014 so there is no need for such “a broad cloak of secrecy.”(Courthouse News Service, March 218, 2018, by Dan McCue)
