By John Bowden - 01/12/18 03:42 PM EST
Special counsel Robert Mueller has requested a trial date for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business associate Richard Gates.
In a court filing Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia reported by Reuters, Mueller's team of prosecutors requested a trial date of May 14.
Manafort and Gates were indicted in October on charges of money laundering and tax fraud. The charges stem from Mueller's ongoing probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Manafort and Gates have denied collusion, and have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
