President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who has been indicted by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, attempted to tamper with potential witnesses, Mueller said in a court filing on Monday.
Mueller, who is investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, asked the judge overseeing the case in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to revoke or revise an order releasing Manafort ahead of his trial.
Manafort was released to home confinement after his arraignment in October.
Mueller has indicted Manafort in federal courts in Virginia and Washington, D.C., with an array of allegations from money-laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent, to bank and tax fraud. Manafort has pleaded not guilty.
FBI Special Agent Brock Domin, in a declaration filed with Mueller's motion, said Manafort had attempted to call, text and send encrypted messages in February to two people from "The Hapsburg Group," a firm he worked with to promote the interests of Ukraine.

Thanks—and I totally agree.
Laz,
I have to commend you on goin’ “full tilt boogie” when getting your point across.
What Putin wants is to be a player. He wants into the boys club with the US and Western Europe. Russia is not a threat to the US. They cannot compete with us economically or militarily. Our special forces just wiped out a bunch of Russians in Syria and guess what Russia didn’t declare war. We announced we were going to bomb a couple buildings in Douma. The Russians moved all their equipment out of the way and watched. They are not about to go against us. We would mop the floor with them.
If you want to worry about somebody worry about China. They are a dangerous enemy.
If Mueller a criminal himself had anything real on Manafort he would already have worked out a plea deal. I seriously doubt they will get any kind of conviction on Paul Manafort.
Extractly!
