Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort hospitalized for heart attack

President Trump’s 2016 campaign manager Paul Manafort was hospitalized for a heart attack last week.

He has been recovering in a Pennsylvania hospital since last Thursday under the watch of correctional officers, according to ABC News, and is now stable and could be released from the hospital in the near future.

In March, Manafort, 70, was sentenced to slightly less than four years in prison for concealing millions of dollars he earned overseas. Manafort was found guilty last year of five tax fraud charges, two bank fraud charges, and one charge of hiding foreign bank accounts. The charges were brought against him by special counsel Robert Mueller, who uncovered evidence of the violations as part of his sweeping investigation into Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia to win the 2016 election.
