Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's onetime presidential campaign chairman who was convicted as part of the special counsel's
Russia investigation, has been released from federal
prison to serve the rest of his sentence in home confinement due to concerns about the
Coronavirus, his lawyer said Wednesday.
Manafort, 71, was let out Wednesday morning from FCI Loretto, a low-security prison in
Pennsylvania, according to his attorney, Todd Blanche.
Manafort, jailed since June 2018, had been serving more than seven years in prison following his conviction.
