NYT:
A federal judge revoked Paul Manafortâs bail and sent him to jail on Friday to await trial, citing new charges that Mr. Manafort had tried to influence the testimony of two of the governmentâs witnesses after he had been granted bail. Mr. Manafort, President Trumpâs former campaign chairman, had been allowed to post a $10 million bond and remain at home while awaiting his September trial on a host of charges, including money laundering and false statements.
In another batshit interview with Fox News this morning, Trump downplayed Manafort's involvement/tenure with his campaign:
Today, Trump tried to claim that Paul Manafort had worked on the Trump campaign for 49 days.

Manafort worked on the Trump campaign from March 28, 2016 to August 19, 2016. That's 144 days.
For context: Bannon and Conway each worked about 84 days on the campaign.
Remember, kids: this whole thing is a witch hunt. Never mind that Mueller's witch hunters keep bagging witches.
