WASHINGTON — A prosecutor has asked a South Florida federal judge to order Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign manager in 2016, to pay nearly $3 million in fees to the U.S. government over his failure to disclose foreign income hidden in over two dozen shell corporations and foreign accounts in 2013 and 2014, according to a federal lawsuit.
In court papers filed Thursday, Deputy Assistant Attorney General David Hubbert said that Manafort had to pay $2,976,350.15 due to his “willful failure to timely report his financial interest in foreign bank accounts.”
“Interest and statutory additions continue to accrue,” Hubbert wrote to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in West Palm Beach.
