Paul Manafort Chastised by Federal Judge for Breaking Gag Order

Newly released court documents show that a federal judge reprimanded Paul Manafort for breaking a gag order she had imposed on his case.
At a court appearance in Washington, D.C. on February 28, Judge Amy Berman Jackson chastised President Trump’s former campaign chairman, saying, “I want to reiterate, Mr. Manafort, that the order that I issued, over no one’s objection, does not just apply to Mr. Downing [Manafort’s lawyer], but it applies to you, and issuing a statement about the prosecution, I believe, is contrary to the order,” according to an official court transcript.
