The money is to settle a civil case brought by the Justice Department last year over foreign bank accounts that he did not declare to United States officials.

Jeffrey Neiman, a lawyer for Manafort, confirmed the settlement in a brief telephone interview on Sunday and said his client “is happy to have this chapter of his life behind him.”

According to the Justice Department, Manafort earned income from consulting work in Ukraine and deposited the money in several overseas accounts in Cyprus, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and the United Kingdom. Manafort briefly managed Trump’s campaign in 2016 before he was ousted from that role amid questions about his consulting work in Ukraine, for which he earned millions.

At one point, Manafort was sentenced to more than seven years in prison but was released early in 2020 as a result of health concerns during theThough Trump had pardoned Manafort for financial crimes covering this period, the Justice Department complaint

Rubles or dollars

Justice not done. Anybody else would have been to prison for life.

Just in time to run Trump's re-election campaign.

Which the charges had nothing to do with elections or Russia BS 😂 what an absolute joke lol

White, rich privileged cnts

DanEggenWPost He is, was, and will remain, an operative of any oligarch that pays him. In essence, a foreign spy. Who will continue.

Why are we settling with a traitor?!? Ffs, this shouldn’t be that difficult.

Must be nice to be able to bribe his way out of prison.

Now do Hunter and Joe Biden.

What does Hunter Biden have to pay for not registering as a foreign Agent to Ukraine, China and Russia? Oh, Nothing...

As long as you pay your 'dues' to the DoJ you can keep on playing.

When are the authorities in the US going to stop letting people with loads of cash simply pay-off their criminal charges This c**t should be going to prison!

Davidlaz Next time pay a few bucks and use Turbotax.

How was he allowed to keep the proceeds of his crimes in the first place?

Another 'innocent man,' eh, GOP?

Unfortunately, the problem with following the Washington Post is that you end up being barraged with a ton of tweets about all sorts of things when all I really want is news from Ukraine.

OneMargaux The guy conspired with the Russians to take over our country. it’s just nuts he’s breathing free air. We should take every penny he has, and lock him up for the rest of his life. If the shoe was on the other foot, Putin would have his head on a pike at the Kremlin for a month.

It’s all politics and a two-tiered justice system. Can’t wait until the Biden’s are held to account

MrJonCryer Why let him pay to avoid prison? LockHimUp

'Russian oligarch Deripaska 2016 channel to assist GOP Trump during His 2016 election campaign 'Rev. Manafort Paul

Prison ... treason

At least Manafort Will Still Be Able To Afford (Hair Dye) 😁

We're done with Paul. Maybe Belarus can use him ?

Cash a prerequisite for US justice?

Good thing he's not poor. There's consequences for that.

Exactly what's wrong with justice system =money talks prison walks

Piffle.

How much corruption got him to be able to pay 3mil ?

Will he pay in rubles?

How can he have that much stolen money left?

That is more than a little pocket money I guess 🤔🫢

. In rubles. Wired into his account. His net cost is zero. Axis: Manafort/Deripaska/Pence(s)/Putin/Flynn(s)/Trump Check the wire transfer, FinCEN CFIUS USTreasury moneylaundering SECgov FINRA

$3.15 million for the accounts he set up to launder Russian election interference seems awfully light.

Like we didn't already know that traitorous scumbaggery pays handsomely.

Who’s giving him the money?

MrJonCryer Spare change

And Trump set him free...ain't that the way.

He should surrender his passport and become a Russian citizen.

Light, considering his oligarch has deep pockets

And . . . will jos ostrich jacket be donated to the Smithsonian?

The fact that he still has 3.5 million is shocking.

Its w very big money
