Reuters did not independently review the filing, which was soon replaced in the public database with a properly redacted version. Manafort's lawyers did not respond to a request for comment on the matter. US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson had given Manafort's lawyers until Monday to make a decision. In the filing Manafort's lawyers said they would not seek an evidentiary hearing to contest Mueller's allegations of lying, arguing that such factual matters could be addressed in a pre-sentencing report. Following the filing by Manafort's lawyers, Jackson ordered the government to submit evidence supporting their allegations by Jan. 14, and held out the option of holding a hearing on the matter on Jan. 25.
