Tuesday morning, Manafort's defense lawyers will be back in court, this time focused on securing some preliminary terms for a second criminal trial, set to begin Sept. 17 in Washington.

Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, won't be in court in person.

Manafort is being held in an Alexandria jail as he awaits his trial about 10 miles away in DC.
