He will remain in custody until his trial, which is expected to begin in early September.  Special counsel Robert Mueller secured an indictment earlier this month saying Manafort attempted to reach witnesses with an encrypted messaging program while he was awaiting trial in an attempt to “suborn perjury,” according to one of those witnesses.    READ MORE     WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?
