Chelsea Manning sent back to jail after refusing to testify before a grand jury

(CNN) Chelsea Manning was once again found in contempt by a federal judge for refusing to testify before a grand jury and will return to jail, just seven days after being released from the same jail. Manning was slapped with the second subpoena while in jail to appear before the grand jury Thursday “but for (the) same questions,” according to a tweet posted on Manning’s Twitter account last week. US Attorney Zachary Terwilliger, the top federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, told reporters Thursday that his team had “bent over backwards to accommodate” Manning’s medical needs and schedule.
