A hearing in the conspiracy case against former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort goes before a federal judge today in Washington, DC. Manafort has been on house arrest since pleading not guilty to a 12-count indictment Monday. The charges stem from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Today's hearing will focus on the terms of former campaign manager's bail conditions. Bail was set at 10-million-dollars and Manafort had to surrender his three U.S. passports.
Manafort and former business associate Rick Gates are accused of, among other things, laundering millions obtained from Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs.
The men are currently under house detention.
