A U.S. judge on Thursday ordered indicted former Trump campaign advisers Paul Manafort and Richard Gates to remain under house arrest, rejecting for now their pleas for less stringent bail conditions. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson also sharply warned lawyers for the duo not to speak about their case outside of court. Manafort and Gates are under house arrest, under unsecured bonds of $10 million and $5 million, respectively. Gates and Manafort remain under house arrest but have a bail hearing on Monday. The defence lawyers also challenged the inclusion in the indictment of allegations that Manafort failed to register as a foreign agent with the Justice Department.
