On Tuesday, a federal judge scheduled a hearing for June 15 about whether to revoke or revise bail for Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign.
US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson's decision came after the special counsel Robert Mueller's office asked the court to restrict the conditions of Manafort's release in a bombshell motion filed Monday.
