CHARTERS IN LA....The California Charter Schools Association has released a study showing that charter schools in Los An stanley cup geles outperform city-run schools: It s pretty significant that seven out of 10 charters actually outperform their most similarly matched district public school, said Caprice Young, chief executive of the charter schools association, citing one finding in the report.

A federal judge has denied former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort s request to move his trial from the Washington, D.C. area, to southwest Virginia, CBS News Clare Hymes reports. The trial is set to begin July 25 in Alexandria, Va.Manafort had requested to move the trial to Roanoke, Va., citing alleged bias in the D.C. area, where his name is well known. Manafort argued the media saturation wouldn t allow him a fair and impartial trial, violating his 6th Amendment rights.Judge T.S. Ellis decided against Manafort s request, writing, the mere fact that a case has drawn substantial media attention does not, by itself, warrant a change in venue. Alexandria, Ellis argued, is large enough to provide an impartial jury pool, and the coverage of the case hasn t been unique to Alexandria. The trial publicity, Ellis argued, would be the same if the trial was happening in Roanoke or Kansas City. This news comes as special counsel Robert Mueller requests immunity and identity protection for five witnesses to testify against Manafort.
