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.
