Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager who Donald Trump pardoned, is expected to be given a new role on Trump’s 2024 campaign as an adviser later this year, according to The Washington Post. Sources familiar with the matter told the Post that job discussions have mostly focused on the Republican convention in Milwaukee in July and may see Manafort being involved in fundraising for Trump’s campaign. The GOP presumptive nominee has reportedly told advisers that he feels loyal to Manafort because Manafort served time in prison and because he’s continued to say nice things about Trump both in public and private. Manafort was convicted on federal tax evasion and bank fraud charges as part of Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump then pardoned Manafort during his final days in office in 2020. The former president is now determined to bring Manafort back into the fold, sources told the Post, describing his potential hiring as expected.
