Jackson chimed in at that point, saying she did not think the courts have foreclosed all prosecutions for false statements based on “omissions.” She also noted that the indictment does appear to allege some things Craig told investigators were outright false.
Prosecutor Fernando Campoamor-Sanchez did not immediately respond to the defense claims. He said the prosecution was learning about some of the planned motions for the first time. Jackson also told lawyers she’s considering whether a gag order may be appropriate in the case and wants to hear from them within about a week on whether she should do so.
Prosecutors said Craig, 74, should have to surrender his passport and get prior approval from the court for foreign travel, but the defense took umbrage at that, saying Craig has been a member of the bar for 45 years and has a sterling reputation.

Hey Politico.... your headline is wrong but FACTS:
He is better described as a Manafort, former Trump Campaign Chairman, associate

Obama's former White House counsel expects to soon be indictedGreg Craig's attorneys said 'the government's stubborn insistence on prosecuting Mr. Craig is a misguided abuse of prosecutorial discretion.' Question for all MAGAS: Did Obama told Mr. Craig to hide information relating Ukraine? And secondly the firm was originally hired by a Kremlin ally. What does that have to with Obama? Who names their kid Greg Craig? That is hard to say...and hard to hear and understand. Unless you just say craycray. hilzoy 1 year (1st year 08-09). For actions taken in ‘12 and work connected to Manafort. You are failing.

Obama White House counsel Gregory Craig charged by federal prosecutors over alleged Ukraine liesCraig, a 74-year-old lawyer based in Washington, D.C., was charged by the Justice Department's Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, unit. This has nothing to do with Barack Obama, but I guess you all are so desperate.... The charges having nothing to do with the former Pres. Needless to say, the current Pres may seize on this little thread as well. Hold on... So much for partisan witch hunt. Meanwhile, Craig had left the White House 10 years earlier.
