U.S. judge reschedules Manafort sentencing hearing in Washington
Manafort pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy against the United States and began cooperating with prosecutors working on U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible links between the Trump campaign and Moscow. Both Moscow and Trump deny any wrongdoing.
In November, prosecutors accused Manafort of breaching his plea deal by lying to federal investigators. (Reporting by Makini Brice)
