Democrats are raising concerns over the potential involvement of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort in the upcoming Republican National Convention. Manafort, who was pardoned by Trump in 2020 after being convicted of financial crimes, is reportedly in talks to assist with the convention in an undisclosed capacity.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is seizing on this development to criticize the GOP, accusing them of embracing individuals with criminal backgrounds. The DNC spokesperson highlighted Manafort's past convictions and labeled him as part of the group of 'election deniers, conspiracy theorists, and absolute weirdos' associated with Trump's influence on the party.
