U.S. investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the 2016 election  Adam Shaheen Youth Jersey , CNN reported on Monday.

The New York Times, citing two people close to the case, also reported that prosecutors told Manafort they planned to indict him. Federal agents had raided Manafort's Virginia house in July.

Manafort is one of several close advisers who helped President Donald Trump win the 2016 election and who are now being investigated as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe of alleged Russian interference in the U.S. vote.

Manafort became Trump's campaign manager in June 2016 but was forced to resign two months later amid reports of his business relationship with the Kremlin-backed former Ukrainian leader, Viktor Yanukovich.

Manafort's attorney and the White House did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment on the stories.

The secret court that oversees warrant requests under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act initially authorized monitoring of Manafort but discontinued it at some point in 2016 for lack of evidence  Eddie Goldman Youth Jersey , CNN said, citing one of its sources.

The FBI resumed surveillance under a new FISA warrant at some point last year and continued to monitor him into 2017, CNN said. The second warrant was obtained as part of the FBI's investigation into ties between Trump campaign associates and Russian operatives, it said.

FISA warrants require the approval of top FBI and Justice Department officials  Cody Whitehair Youth Jersey , and law enforcement has to demonstrate to the court that there is reason to believe that the subject of the investigation may be acting as an agent of a foreign power.

CNN said interest in Manafort deepened because of intercepted communications between him and Russian operatives, and among the Russians. The government eavesdropping continued into 2017, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to Trump after he became president. CNN said it was unclear if Trump was picked up on the surveillance.

The FBI was not listening in June 2016 when Donald Trump Jr., Manafort and top White House adviser Jared Kushner met with a Russian lawyer who had promised to deliver negative information on Trump's rival  Leonard Floyd Youth Jersey , Democrat Hillary Clinton, CNN said.

Russia has denied interfering in the U.S. election and Trump has denied there was collusion.

HONG KONG, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- The government of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) has launched a series of promotion for healthy meals at schools, including an online voting for a low-salt and low-sugar poster design competition that started on Monday.

"Members of the public are invited to vote online for the Most Liked Award among the poster design merit entries of the Smart Choices for Low-Salt and Low-Sugar Slogan Writing cum Poster Design Competition  Eddie Jackson Youth Jersey ," the Hong Kong SAR government said in a news release.

A total of 357 students from 75 schools took part in the four categories of the poster design competition, it said, adding that participants were required to express the ideas of reducing dietary intake of salt and sugar or doing so through the good use of nutrition labels.

The Department of Health of the SAR government has also launched the Salt Reduction Scheme for School Lunches in 440 primary schools since the fall semester starting this month.

Under the scheme, 13 food suppliers will offer 280 reduced-salt lunch options to the involved primary schools  Tarik Cohen Youth Jersey , with an average sodium reduction of 9 percent.

Anne Fung, assistant director of the Department of Health, said she hopes the scheme will gradually lower the sodium level of school lunches by up to 10 percent each year, with a 10-year target of the average sodium level in primary school lunchboxes being less than 500 milligrams.

Excessive intake of sodium can cause hypertension  Jordan Howard Youth Jersey , a major cause of cardiovascular diseases and stroke, Fung said, adding that "the rate of referral of primary and secondary students with suspected hypertension for further management increased from 0.4 percent in 2011-2012 to 0.8 percent in 2015-2016."

"Such statistics show it is important to support our children to develop healthy eating habits to prevent the development of non-communicable diseases such as hypertension," she said.

She added the department and the Center for Food Safety will launch a nutrient testing of school lunches scheme next year and collect random lunch samples from all local primary schools to examine their levels of energy  Mitchell Trubisky Youth Jersey , sodium and other nutrients.
