Paul Manafort

Paul Manafort said ( 2024/05/11/ ) he was offering “advice and suggestions” to the Trump campaign on the Republican National Convention.  “As a longtime, staunch supporter of President Trump and given my nearly 50 years experience in managing presidential conventions, I was offering my advice and suggestions to the Trump campaign on the upcoming convention in a volunteer capacity,” Manafort said.  “However, it is clear that the media wants to use me as a distraction to try and harm President Trump and his campaign by recycling old news, and I won’t let the media do that. So, I will stick to the sidelines and support President Trump every other way I can,” he continued.  
A Trump campaign official confirmed his departure.  Manafort’s departure from the support position comes after The Washington Post reported that he was helping launch a Chinese streaming platform.  Manafort spent close to two years of a 7.5-year sentence in prison for bank and tax fraud,
