Fredericksen Comments on Judge Presiding Over Manafort Trial

Partner Scott Fredericksen was quoted in a CNN article, “Meet Manafort Trial Ringmaster T.S. Ellis,” about the judge overseeing the bank and tax fraud trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Fredericksen, a former federal prosecutor and section chief in the Eastern District of Virginia, said “most every prosecutor [who has appeared before Ellis] would tell a story about being forced to brief issues ad nauseam, including during trial.”
