Prosecutors in Paul Manafort's bank fraud and tax evasion trial will introduce evidence which ties his alleged crimes to his work for the Trump campaign, it has been claimed.

The former Trump campaign chairman is due to go on trial in Virginia on July 25.

Until now, the allegations around him have centered around alleged fraud, tax evasion, money laundering and conspiracy.

In a filing on Friday, however, prosecutors promised to introduce evidence which would link the allegations to Trump's campaign.

It came as Manafort's team fought to have him released on bail for the second time.

Currently, he is in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day and is being kept separated from other prisoners 'for his own safety'.

Federal marshals at the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, Virginia determined that they have to keep him isolated nearly all the time in order to 'guarantee his safety,' according to his attorneys.

Special prosecutor Robert Mueller is leading the case

'He is locked in his cell for at least 23 hours per day (excluding visits from his attorneys),' they wrote in an appeal designed to get him back on house arrest until the first of his twin federal trial begins in three weeks.

Warsaw is a 2-hour drive from Washington, making collaborating with his lawyers a challenge for the 69-year-old Manafort, they argued in court papers last week.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose office is prosecuting Manafort on charges ranging from tax evasion and bank fraud to the ominous-sounding 'conspiracy against the United States,' told an appeals court panel on Thursday that it comes with the territory of being accused of committing felonies.

Judge Jackson ordered Manafort's bail revoked and jailed him following prosecutors' allegations that he had tried to contact and tamper with witnesses while he was at home on house arrest

'Those limitations are common to defendants incarcerated pending trial, and Manafort has not taken any steps to bring specific problems to the attention of the district court or the government,' Mueller's office argued.

The rebuttal also claimed Manafort 'has not sought any relief from the district court or the government, including the Bureau of Prisons, with respect to any confinement conditions.'

Judge Amy Jackson Berman ordered Manafort into custody on June 15, following a bail revocation hearing in which the federal government accused him of trying to influence potential witnesses who could testify about the nature of his lobbying operation in Europe.

His lawyers told Jackson that the evidence of witness tampering was thin, and complained that Mueller's office had ignored another federal judge's order to turn over a complete list of potential witnesses.

Manafort's lawuers are trying to get him re-released on house arrest so he can best prepare for a pair of federal criminal trials that begin in just three weeks

On Thursday they told the appellate judges that Manafort also should be released because no one has accused him of physically threatening potential witnesses with any violence.

Mueller's team dismissed that argument. Coaching witnesses to lie to federal investigators, they wrote, 'is no less damaging to the justice system when committed through covert corrupt persuasion than through overt violence.'

Manafort has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him in both the Virginia and Washington, D.C. federal circuit courts.

His pre-trial incarceration, however, could be a hard-sell method of persuading him to cooperate with Mueller's lengthy investigation into unproven links between Trump's campaign and agents of the Kremlin.

All the charges against the former Trump campaign chairman stem from his work for the Ukrainian government long before the president entered the White House race.

Manafort is listed as a 'VIP' inmate at the Northern Neck jail.

The rural Virginia facility is the same one that housed former NFL star Michael Vick after his conviction for dogfighting. Singer Chris Brown also spent time there.

Manafort's first trial, scheduled to begin July 25 in Virginia, focuses on bank fraud and tax evasion.

On Sept. 17 he will face a second case in Washington, D.C., wrapping up all the other charges
