WASHINGTON A federal judge revoked Paul Manafort's bail and sent him to jail on Friday to await trial, citing new charges that Mr. Manafort had tried to influence the testimony of two of the government's witnesses after he had been granted bail.
Mr. Manafort, President Trump's former campaign chairman, had been allowed to post a $10 million bond and remain at home while awaiting his September trial on a host of charges, including money laundering and false statements.
But last week, prosecutors working for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, filed two new counts of obstruction of justice against Mr. Manafort and asked that his bail be revoked or that at least the conditions be revised because he had committed new crimes.

In a superseding indictment, the prosecutors claimed that Mr. Manafort and a close associate, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, had contacted the two witnesses this year, hoping to persuade them to testify that Mr. Manafort had never lobbied in the United States for Viktor F. Yanukovych, the pro-Moscow president of Ukraine who fled to Russia in 2014 after a popular uprising.
In fact, the government now claims, Mr. Manafort led a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort in Washington to present Mr. Yanukovych as a pro-Western leader who deserved political support, not sanctions for alleged abuses of power.
Mr. Manafort is charged with failing to disclose those lobbying efforts to the Justice Department, as required, and with lying to department officials who questioned him. He is also accused of laundering more than $30 million in income he received over a nine-year period for lobbying for Mr. Yanukovych and his political party and its successor.
Mr. Manafort faces additional federal charges in Northern Virginia of tax evasion, bank fraud and failure to report foreign bank accounts, also arising from the same activities. That trial is scheduled for late July.
Mr. Manafort worked for the Trump campaign for about five months, resigning as campaign chairman in August 2016 after revelations that he had worked for pro-Russia interests in Ukraine. Since then, an increasingly detailed picture has emerged of an alleged financial conspiracy involving Mr. Manafort; Rick Gates, Mr. Trump's deputy campaign chairman and Mr. Manafort's right hand-man; Mr. Kilimnik; and others. Mr. Kilimnik is a Russian Army-trained linguist who, according to prosecutors, is linked to Russian intelligence.

yo heck,, did you hear trumpski said today that 'Manafort worked for him for 44 days' ?.... when in reality, he was trumpski's 'campaign manager' for 5 months... in order to escape , trumpy will throw anyone under the bus.... instead of 'making America great again' we should make the office of president great again.....

I think the reality is people will say they can perform to get the position and when they cant he has no problem replacing them. 44 days is 9 weeks, just saying

Plus he probably didn’t work weekends so it’s more like 12 weeks

^^^So True....

Only the wing nuts on the far left or right care. Most of us fall in between. Case of squeaky wheel gets all the attention or on the news. Click bait victims feed off of this.

so what?

all the charges against manaford are related to things he did years before he worked on the trump campaign.

My guess is you belong to many political forums. You spew, along with some others, political crap that even overloads the pit. Jesus....

“Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said the president could use his pardon power to ensure the consequences of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation would be “cleaned up”.

“When the whole thing is over, things might get cleaned up with some presidential pardons,””


 
Manaford has never been changed or convicted of a crime in his life before this, never hurt anybody, never stole from anybody. there’s no victim to the charges against him. now they say there’s allegations of witness tampering. just an allegation And sent to jail. yet Harvey Weinstein and many other rapists are still walking the streets on a daily basis. how is manafort a danger to the community?

when is mueller, Andrew Weissman and the top tier people at the fbi going to be arrested for overzealous prosecution and obstruction of justice?

anyone who is honest and not filled with political hate can see this whole thing is a sham.

I just thought it was a misnomer, Manafort will be pardoned just like President Ford pardoned Nixon. Giving us a Manaford. :roflmao:

Its gonna happen, if not just to ruffle the Dems feathers.

of course he knows him for all of 144 days. why would trump want to make things worse for mamafort and say they’re good friends? the more trump talks mamafort up like their best buddies the more vicious the prosecutors will be. if it’s even possible to be more vicious

trump will pardon him after the mueller investigation is complete. then you’ll see how loyal he is.
 
hes being charged with fraud and now witness tampering. nothing to do with trump. in my opinion if he did commit bank fraud then he should go to jail
