Ex-Trump campaign aides facing charges can travel for Thanksgiving

WASHINGTON _ Paul Manafort and Richard Gates, two of President Donald Trump's former campaign aides who are under indictment in the special counsel investigation, will be able to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday, a federal judge decided Tuesday.

The two men have been under house arrest since last month, when they were arrested on charges of conspiracy, money laundering and fraud.

Manafort served as Trump's campaign manager, and Gates was his deputy. They've pleaded not guilty to the charges. Prosecutors said after their arrests that with their extensive connections overseas, the men might be flight risks.

There are some conditions to their holiday travel. They must report where they're going, continue wearing GPS devices and abstain from drinking, the judge ruled.
