WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Monday ordered former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate Rick Gates to remain under house arrest with their movements tracked by GPS devices — until they offer up more bail money to assure their future appearances in court.
Federal prosecutors, who have leveled a 12-count indictment alleging a complex money laundering and tax fraud conspiracy, said they were “close” to reaching an agreement with the men’s lawyers to free them from home confinement.
