The special counsel said Manafort's alleged actions constituted a violation of the conditions of his release.

The filing says Manafort used encrypted messaging application to try and reach certain witnesses.

One potential witness told the government, according to the filing, that "he understood Manafort's outreach to be an effort to 'suborn perjury'" — that is, an attempt to persuade that witness to commit perjury.

The next step is a response from a federal judge and any filings from Manafort's team. If the judge ultimately decides to revoke his bail, Manafort may be placed in jail until at least his trial later this year.

1. He should have been put in jail from the start.

He wrote an op ed with a former Ukrainian pal and thought he would never get caught and now this. He can NOT be trusted!

2. +1.

Although... whoever he's communicating with, their fates are now sealed as well. Maybe that was what Mueller was hoping for?

3. You are clever. I bet that is what Mueller did.
