Paul Manafort asks judge to dismiss criminal charges against him

Pretty standard stuff from the defense in court. But like usual the judge will go against it.

With his recent additional charges, including his using property involved in criminal behaviour (fake loans), I thought Manafort might get his bail revoked. It looks like that's still somewhat up in the air, but not happening.

Manafort hasn't been able to convince the judge in DC to relax his home arrest by approving assets that would secure his $10 million bail there. Because of the DC and Virginia federal judges' bail conditions combined, Manafort is essentially on lockdown in his apartment in Alexandria, and would owe $10 million in each court if he fled. Mueller's prosecutors continue to claim Manafort is a flight risk, and both judges have agreed.

Two ankle-braces? What happens if another jurisdiction adds charges? A wrist bracelet?

Manafort currently wears two GPS monitors so that both the DC and Virginia federal courts can keep track of his movements.
