[Guardian] Paul Manafort, formerly Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, was taken into custody on Friday after a federal judge (Obama appointee Amy Berman Jackson) determined he had violated the terms of his bail as he awaits trial on multiple federal felony charges.
Manafort, 69, thus became the second former Trump aide to go to jail related to charges brought by the special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian election interference and links between Trump aides and Moscow.
Manifort has yet to be convicted of ANYTHING !
