A federal judge has scheduled a hearing for June 15 to decide whether to revoke bail for Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign. Manafort is accused of attempting to tamper with witness testimony in the Russia probe.

US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has scheduled a hearing for June 15 to decide whether to revoke bail for Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign.
Manafort has been on supervised release since he was first indicted by the special counsel Robert Mueller's office last year.
But the FBI on Monday accused Manafort of attempting to tamper with witness testimony and subsequently asked the court to revoke or restrict the terms of Manafort's release.

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. The reason, the FBI said, was that Manafort had attempted to influence witness testimony in the Russia probe.

"I tell you I have never been paid from any lobby group in America," Prodi added.
