Special counsel Robert Mueller is considering retrying Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign manager, on the 10 charges that resulted in a hung jury in Virginia in last August.

Federal prosecutors are also still weighing whether to file new charges based on what they said earlier this week is a breach of Manafort’s plea agreement, reached in September.

Mueller’s team on Friday did not reveal the details of what exactly Manafort did to breach the plea agreement, but they will in a court filing Dec. 7.

Lawyers for Manafort — who did not appear in federal court Friday morning — will then have until Dec. 12 to respond to the details of the alleged plea agreement breach.

Federal District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, set a tentative March 5 date for Manafort’s sentencing.
