UPDATE 2:
UPDATE: Via Wall Street Journal's White House reporter:
In reaction to Judge Amy Berman Jackson revoking Paul Manafort's bail, Rudy Giuliani told the New York Daily News Friday President Trump might "clean up" Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation through use of his pardon power.
“When the whole thing is over, things might get cleaned up with some presidential pardons,” the former New York mayor told the Daily News.
Giuliani’s stunning remark came hours after a Washington, D.C., judge revoked Manafort’s bail and ordered him to remain behind bars while awaiting his September trial on charges relating to his shady pro-Russian business dealings in Ukraine. The ruling came after Robert Mueller’s investigators alleged Manafort had attempted to tamper with witnesses in the Russia investigation.

“I don’t understand the justification for putting him in jail,” Giuliani, 74, said. “You put a guy in jail if he’s trying to kill witnesses, not just talking to witnesses.”
Giuliani, who serves as Trump’s personal lawyer, doubled down on his previous call to end Mueller’s investigation.
“That kind of investigation should not go forward,” Giuliani said. “It’s time for Justice to investigate the investigators.”
