Mueller Is Already Taking Measures to Muzzle Manafort
Special counsel Robert Mueller is taking measures to prevent convicted felon Paul Manafort from claiming he is being “selectively prosecuted” in his upcoming Washington, D.C. trial.
NPR’s Carrie Johnson reports that Mueller has petitioned the D.C. judge Amy Berman Jackson to prevent Manafort from making this argument, claiming that Manafort’s defense team “repeatedly” ignored Judge T.S. Ellis III’s order during the Virginia trial.

Aides expect Trump to go rogue on Manafort pardon
The president's comments are being read as a signal that he wants to ignore his lawyers and exonerate his former campaign chairman.
Three senior administration aides said the president has not expressed to them directly any immediate intention of pardoning Manafort
Ever since Trump discovered that he could unilaterally pardon individuals, aides say he’s been thrilled by that level of unchecked power. Similar to signing an executive order, the pardons allow Trump to act quickly without the constraints imposed by tight voting margins in Congress, or by the judicial system.
“He certainly has been much more inclined to use the pardon in a freewheeling and personal fashion, so far, without going through the normal Justice Department process,” said Margaret Love, who served U.S. pardon attorney from 1990 to 1997. “His grants are not unprecedented, but the process he has used and the way these cases are coming to attention are quite unique.”

Confronting Democratic attacks, Republicans propose codifying insurance protections for sick people
A group of 10 GOP senators introduced a bill on Thursday to ensure equal healthcare coverage regardless of health status. Democrats are making their support for pre-existing conditions a major part of their strategy in the 2018 midterm elections.
“Nevadans and Americans throughout the country with pre-existing conditions should be protected — period,” said Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., one of the co-sponsors who faces a tough re-election battle this fall in a state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016.
GOP Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, John Barrasso of Wyoming, Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee are the other co-sponsors of the bill.
