U.S. President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort will try to convince a federal judge on Wednesday to throw out criminal charges filed against him by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, arguing Mueller has overstepped his legal authority.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller brought the charges against Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort as part of a wide-ranging probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The single page, filed at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, does not shed light on the nature of the new charges.
