Manafort backs out of Republican National Convention role: Report

Published



Paul Manafort, once the chairman of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, has backed out of his unpaid role as an adviser for the 2024 Republican National Convention, according to a report from the New York Times.

In March, it was reported that the Republican Party had plans to bring Manafort on in an advising role for its quadrennial presidential nominating convention, but the move has come under intense scrutiny since then. The Washington Post reported Friday that Manafort has resumed international consulting work, notably after being convicted in 2018 on multiple charges that stemmed from similar activity.
