U.S. judge deals partial win to prosecution ahead of Manafort's second trial

A judge overseeing the upcoming second trial of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort on Tuesday approved the prosecution's request to allow evidence about a Justice Department inspection of Manafort's lobbying activities in the 1980s but limited the scope of what it can show.

The ruling by Judge Amy Berman Jackson represents a partial win for Special Counsel Robert Mueller ahead of Manafort's second trial, set to begin next month in Jackson's federal courtroom in Washington.
