Manafort, who is serving more than seven years in prison, was moved to the hospital last Thursday from a federal prison in Pennsylvania.
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been hospitalized while serving his federal prison sentence.
The attorney, Todd Blanche, said Manafort’s family and friends are “extremely concerned about his health and still do not have a full understanding of his medical condition or well-being.” Blanche slammed the federal Bureau of Prisons, which he said refused for days to provide any information about his client’s condition, citing privacy and safety concerns, other than to say that Manafort was “safe.”
Manafort, who was prosecuted in two federal courts, was convicted by a jury in federal court in Virginia last year and later pleaded guilty in Washington. He was sentenced in March and immediately hit with state charges in New York that could put him outside the president’s power to pardon.New York prosecutors accused him of giving false information on a mortgage loan application.
