Trump Tower's condo board has made a deal with Robert Mueller's office over who will pay Paul Manafort's condo fees
The situation, one of the more poetic conclusions to a Mueller case, arose because Manafort forfeited his apartment in Trump Tower in Manhattan as part of his conspiracy, foreign lobbying and money laundering guilty plea deal.The former Trump campaign chairman loses the 1,500-square-foot Fifth Avenue condo, and it will be sold by the US Marshals Service, according to proposals filed in court.
His residence there was even part of his pitch to Donald Trump to hire him onto the 2016 campaign, according to The New York Times.Manafort bought the condo -- near the top of the 58-floor golden skyscraper -- more than a decade ago for $3.675 million. To close the sale, he used a shell company called John Hannah, which prosecutors alleged hid his foreign lobbying revenue from the IRS and other US authorities.
