Judge revokes Manafort's $10 million bail after witness-tampering allegations
Reporting and findings
- documented
A federal judge revoked Manafort's $10 million bond and ordered him detained pending trial after prosecutors added obstruction and witness-tampering charges. The court found the release conditions could not reasonably protect the proceeding. The detention ruling was not a final guilt verdict on all pending counts; Manafort later admitted conspiracy to obstruct justice in his D.C. guilty plea.
