Special counsel Robert Mueller has accused Donald Trump’s former campaign chief Paul Manafort of witness tampering. Manafort allegedly tried to hide his communications with potential witnesses using the encrypted messaging apps WhatsApp and Telegram, but prosecutors appear to have accessed the messages via his iCloud account.
Manafort is the highest-profile member of Trump’s team to be indicted by the special counsel, who is investigating Russian meddling in the US election. The court put Manafort under house arrest, on a $10 million bond. Prosecutors say the messages violated the terms of Manafort’s release, which means he might have to go to jail.
