Former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort strikes $3.1M settlement with Justice Department
Paul Manafort, the embattled former Trump campaign chairman, agreed to pay $3.15 million to settle a civil lawsuit brought by the Justice Department last year citing his failure to report financial interests in foreign bank accounts.
Notice of the settlement was filed last month in a federal court in Florida where Manafort now lives.
Manafort was among a string of allies and former aides pardoned by former President Donald Trump in the final days of his term.
Once a prominent Republican political adviser, Manafort had been convicted of defrauding banks and taxpayers out of millions of dollars he had amassed through illicit lobbying activities. He had been sentenced to four years in prison in Virginia and three years in Washington.
