Trump's former campaign manager goes to jail for witness tampering
Former campaign manager of US President Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, had his interim bail revoked by a federal judge because of his alleged attempted tampering of witnesses ahead of his trial on money laundering, tax, and bank fraud charges. The move by a federal judge comes two weeks after Robert Mueller filed new accusations of witness tampering against Manafort. Here's more about it.
Manafort immediately sent to a federal prison
Mueller, a former FBI director who is investigating allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential Election, urged the federal court to revoke Manafort's bail. He alleged that Manafort and a business associate tried to influence the testimony of potential witnesses against him. Manafort, appeared in a federal court and the judge canceled his interim bail; he was immediately sent to a federal prison.
