Manafort's lawyer wrote in a letter to the federal Bureau of Prisons that the 71-year-old is at "high-risk" and requested he be transferred to home confinement to serve the remainder of his more than seven year sentence, Politico reported.
The prison where Manafort is being held, FCI Loretto, currently has no cases of coronavirus, according to CNN, but his lawyer noted in his letter that it's only a matter of time.
As of Tuesday morning, the Bureau of Prisons had yet to respond to the request, one of Manafort's lawyers confirmed to CNN.

Who didn't see this coming. Far as I'm concerned the mpfo shoult ROT in prison. If he wasn't a traitorous POS, he wouldn't be in there. 🤬
