Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s Bridgehampton property would be subject to forfeiture upon conviction, under terms of an indictment unsealed Monday charging him with conspiracy against the United States.
Manafort spent millions on landscaping and property maintenance, according to the indictment. Expenses allegedly include $5.4 million paid to a Hamptons home improvement company and more than $820,000 paid to two Hamptons landscapers between 2008 and 2014, according to the document.

The Bridgehampton property at 174 Jobs Lane includes a front yard moat around a small island with plantings and a footbridge. Statues of giraffes and a jungle cat dot the lawn. The house is partially hidden behind the area’s signature high hedges, and includes a pool, guesthouse and tennis court, which was flooded from the overnight storm Sunday.
