Special counsel Robert Mueller objected Monday to a tentative "agreed-upon bail package" reached with Paul Manafort last week, after the lobbyist was discovered to have ghost-written a draft of an op-ed with an associate in Russia allegedly tied to Russian intelligence, according to court filings. Prosecutors argued that Manafort's collaboration with the "Russian intelligence" colleague - as recently as last week - would violate the sweeping gag-order issued last month by U.S. District Judge Amy Jackson.
