He had his bail revoked during his arraignment on Friday </strong></h6>
<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort will await trial behind bars after a federal judge revoked his bail during his arraignment on Friday.<br />
The judge ordered Paul Manafort to jail over charges he tampered with witnesses while out on bail, a major blow for President Trump’s former campaign chairman as he awaits trial on federal conspiracy and money-laundering charges next month.<br />
The former Trump aide who was seeking to remain on house arrest until his trial scheduled to start September 17 in Washington, was facing a third superseding indictment against him by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on charges of witness tampering<br />
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled in favor of prosecutors who for months had been pushing instead, for Manafort to be jailed because he is a flight risk.<br />
&#8216;You have abused the trust placed in you six months ago,&#8217; said Judge Jackson, issuing her ruling.<br />
Jackson said she had &#8216;struggled&#8217; with the decision but she couldn&#8217;t &#8216;turn a blind eye&#8217; to his conduct.<br />
Manafort who has been confined to his home in the Washington suburb of Alexandria, Virginia and forced to wear a GPS monitoring device since last year, had repeatedly requested to end his home confinement in exchange for pledging $10 million in real estate as collateral. &#8211;<br />
Judge Jackson turned down the defense appeal.</p>

The messages &#8211; sent on WhatsApp &#8211; was an &#8216;effort to influence [witness] testimony and to otherwise conceal evidence&#8217;, the FBI said.<br />
Mueller&#8217;s team this month asked the judge to revoke Manafort&#8217;s bail, saying his &#8220;obstructive&#8221; conduct &#8220;instills little confidence that restrictions short of detention will assure Manafort&#8217;s compliance with the court&#8217;s orders and prevent him from committing further crimes.&#8221;</p>
