By Spencer S. Hsu Spencer S. Hsu Investigative reporter Email Bio Follow April 23 at 10:23 AM Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been transferred to a minimum-security prison near Scranton, Pa., to serve his federal prison sentence after being convicted in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation. He is set to be released on Christmas Day 2024, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
Manafort, 70, was transferred late last week from the jail in Alexandria, Va., to the Virginia state Northern Neck Regional Jail, state records show, and logged into the federal system overnight Tuesday. Manafort was sentenced March 13 to 7½ years in prison in Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election for conspiring to hide tens of millions of dollars earned through undisclosed lobbying for a Russia-aligned politician in Ukraine and conspiring to tamper with witnesses, as well as bank and tax fraud.
