Federal inmate and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort may soon be transferred to New York City’s largest prison as he awaits state fraud charges.
In the next few weeks, federal inmate and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort will reportedly be transferred to Rikers Island, New York City’s largest and most controversial jail complex, where he is expected to be held in isolation while facing state fraud charges.
Since his sentencing on federal bank-fraud, tax, and conspiracy charges in March, Manafort has been serving his seven-and-a-half-year bid in a small, low-security prison in Loretto, Pennsylvania.
