Special Counsel Robert Mueller wants President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort to be put in jail while he awaits trial because he allegedly tampered with witnesses. Mueller filed a motion in federal court asking a judge to revoke Manafort’s $10m bail, according to The New York Times. Manafort has been indicted for financial crimes related to his work as a lobbyist for foreign actors. Manafort allegedly sent numerous text messages to a potential witness using WhatsApp. Manafort is the most senior member of Trump’s campaign to be indicted, though the charges do not relate to campaign activities.
