Manafort to be released from house arrest: report
By Josh Delk - 12/15/17 03:43 PM EST
A federal judge said Friday that she will release former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who faces charges of money laundering and failure to register as a foreign agent, from house arrest, according to Reuters.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered that Manafort could leave his house arrest after the court previously held him on $10 million and $5 million unsecured bail bonds, which the former lobbyist's legal team petitioned.
Jackson said Manafort will still be monitored by GPS and have a curfew.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's indictments against Manafort and his associate Richard Gates were the first formal charges filed in his team's far-reaching probe into possible Russian collusion with the Trump campaign in the 2016 presidential campaign.
