Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate Richard Gates will remain under house arrest until they can provide adequate financial assurance to convince a federal judge they will not skip out on future court appearances.
Manafort and Gates have been charged with money laundering and other crimes as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election.
They were released into home confinement with GPS monitoring on $10 million and $5 million unsecured bail bonds, respectively, last week and are now petitioning the court for more flexible conditions.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Monday that she is prepared to modify the conditions of Manafort and Gates’s release — but indicated she does not yet have the information she needs to approve a new bail package.
