The hearing was the latest development in a special counsel investigation that could threaten Trump's presidency, looking into potential collusion between the president's 2016 campaign and Moscow.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is facing criticism for a freakish email she sent for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on Friday that said special counsel Robert Mueller had been "fired".
Jackson expressed doubts over arguments that Mueller should not have been able to bring charges Downing called unrelated to Russian Federation or Moscow's potential coordination with Trump's campaign. Rosenstein, who has led the investigation since Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from it, put Mueller on the job.
His attorneys asserted that Manafort is charged for conduct that predated the campaign, and that the authorization for Mueller's probe is so broad it violated department regulations that they said require a "specific factual statement" of matters under investigation. The department, backed by the mayor's office, said it has no inside knowledge of whether the president might fire special counsel Robert Mueller.
Pittsburgh's police department found itself in the spotlight Thursday because of a few key words in an email from a head detective: President Donald Trump, special counsel Robert Mueller and riot gear.
US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson asked what it would mean if Rosenstein told Mueller on his first day that he had authority to investigate Manafort's work in Ukraine.

"That's your point, but that's not what the appointment order says", Jackson said. According to the Washington Post, two of Trump's other legislative allies, House Freedom Caucus leaders Mark Meadow and Jim Jordan, met with Rosenstein on Monday to press him to release documents related to the Russian Federation probe and Clinton's email server.
An official who spoke to Bloomberg said Mueller hasn't ruled out moving the goalposts later.
Trump's most peculiar recent personnel move-part of an ever-growing list of dismissals-was to fire David Shulkin as head of the Veterans Administration, a Leviathan of an agency, and nominate his personal physician for the job.
Like Nunes, they have said they're ready to take serious action against Rosenstein if he doesn't comply. Downing said Rosenstein's memo seemed to come "after the fact" to justify the investigation.
Richard Westling, another of Manafort's attorney's told the judge his client's efforts to get the charges dismissed was being hampered by the fact that substantial amount of his assets are tied up while the case is pending. Manafort's lawyers argued that the money Manafort is accusing of moving around didn't stem from his failure to register as an agent for a foreign entity.
