Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort leaves the courtroom after his arraignment in New York Supreme Court on Jun 27, 2019. REUTERS: President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was released from a federal prison in Pennsylvania on Wednesday to finish his sentence at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, his lawyer said, drawing fresh Democratic criticism over Justice Department actions that have benefited Trump associates.
Manafort's legal team last month asked the US Bureau of Prisons for home confinement rather than continued imprisonment, saying his pre-existing health conditions such as high blood pressure, liver disease and respiratory ailments increased his risks should he become infected with the coronavirus.
Schiff among other actions cited Barr's role in abandoning a tough sentencing recommendation by career federal prosecutors for convicted Trump friend and adviser Roger Stone and in asking a federal judge to drop charges against Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
