hereby files this notice in response to the Court’s August 30, 2018 Order (Doc. 292).
On August 21, 2018, a jury found the defendant guilty of eight counts of the Superseding
Indictment, and was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on Counts 11, 13, 14, 24, 26, 28, 29, 30,
31 and 32 (the hung counts).
On September 14, 2018, defendant Paul J. Manafort, Jr. pleaded guilty in United States v.
Manafort, 1:17-201-1 (D.D.C.) (ABJ) (S-5), pursuant to a plea agreement. Pursuant to that
agreement, which previously was submitted to the Court, Manafort agreed not to pursue any posttrial motions herein, among other things. He also admitted the underlying conduct alleged in the
hung counts.
On August 30, 2018, the Court ordered the government to file notice of its intent to retry
the hung counts, one week after any defense post-trial motions. On September 20, 2018, the
defense filed notice with this Court that pursuant to the plea agreement defendant was not filing
any post-trial motions. Pursuant to the plea agreement, the parties agreed that the government will
