Prosecutors question Manafort’s claim to be worth $28 million

Share:

Paul Manafort’s lawyers claimed that the former Trump campaign chairman is worth $28 million, but federal prosecutors are raising questions over that value.

Manafort’s lawyers said in a court filing Saturday that three of his properties are valued at $8 million, pledging the homes as part of a deal to reach Manafort’s $10 million bail, Politico reported.

Lawyers are offering up Manafort’s apartment in Trump Tower in Manhattan, another condo in New York City and Manafort’s home in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., as part of the agreement.

However, prosecutors on Sunday cast doubt on the value of those properties in a separate court filing obtained by Politico.

“Although Manafort has provided the government with a spreadsheet listing his total assets at approximately $28 million, the government has yet to substantiate Manafort’s net worth. Indeed, we continue to have questions about that sum,” the prosecutors wrote.
