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.
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.
Mueller charged Manafort and Kilimnik, a Ukrainian-Russian who is believed to have links to Russia's intelligence services, on June 8 with attempted witness tampering.
Mueller's court filing was a response to a motion filed by Manafort asking that prosecutors be prohibited from mentioning Trump at a trial scheduled to begin on July 25.
Mueller has leaned heavily on Manafort since his indictments.
Manafort is now being held in solitary confinement in a Virginia jail while he awaits trial.
