DonaldTrump's former campaign chairman PaulManafort has been moved to the federal correction centre that recently housed notorious Mexican drug lord 'El Chapo'.
President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been moved from a minimum security prison near Scranton, Pennsylvania, to the federal correction center in Manhattan that recently housed the notorious Mexican drug lord known as "El Chapo," federal records show.
The official said the attorneys proposed that Manafort stay in federal custody but be turned over to the state as needed, and New York prosecutors did not object. Manafort had been serving time for federal crimes at the minimum security prison camp at the U.S. Penitentiary at Canaan Township in Pennsylvania.
He was ultimately charged with offenses related only to his Ukraine work - not for a conspiracy with Russia. He was convicted in August of tax- and bank-fraud charges after a weeks-long trial in federal court in Virginia, and he later pleaded guilty in a separate case in federal court in D.C.
