Judge orders house arrest for Manafort and Gates

From CNN's Katelyn Polantz

A federal judge today granted both government requests and ordered home confinement for Paul Manafort and Rick Gates. The judge set bond at $10 million for Manafort and $5 million for Gates. They did not have to put collateral behind that amount, and will not have to pay it unless they violate the court's directions.

The house arrest request came because the government stressed be "nature of the charges and their seriousness." Manafort would be a risk of flight because he faces 151 to 181 months in prison, and alleged fraud in his charges. Gates faces 121 to 151 months in prison. Both lost their passports.

The defendants will have to check in daily with law enforcement by phone, and will only be allowed to leave their homes for see their attorneys, appear at court, or for medical and religious necessities.
