- US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has scheduled a hearing for June 15 to decide whether to revoke bail for Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Donald Trump’s campaign.
- Manafort has been on supervised release since he was first indicted by the special counsel Robert Mueller’s office last year.
- But the FBI on Monday accused Manafort of attempting to tamper with witness testimony and subsequently asked the court to revoke or restrict the terms of Manafort’s release.
- “Mr. Manafort is innocent and nothing about this latest allegation changes our defense,” Manafort’s spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday.
