Paul Manafort In Talks To Assist Trump At RNC

Donald Trump looks Confident.

Former President Donald Trump's team is reportedly in discussions with Paul Manafort, his 2016 campaign chairman who was later pardoned, to potentially assist with the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Manafort, a key figure in Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, was pardoned by Trump in 2018 after being convicted of various financial crimes.

Sources familiar with the ongoing conversations have indicated that Manafort may be involved in fundraising efforts surrounding the July convention, although no final decisions have been reached. Trump has expressed his desire to reintegrate Manafort into his circle, but the specific role Manafort would play remains uncertain.

The Washington Post was the first to report on Manafort's potential involvement with Trump's 2024 election campaign. Manafort's potential return to the political arena raises questions about the implications of pardoning individuals with ties to high-profile political campaigns.

Manafort's history with Trump's campaign and subsequent legal troubles have made him a controversial figure in American politics. His potential reemergence in a prominent role within the Republican Party could spark debate and scrutiny from both supporters and critics.

As discussions continue between Trump's team and Manafort, the political landscape leading up to the 2024 election remains dynamic and unpredictable. Manafort's potential involvement in the Republican National Convention could signal a strategic move by Trump to leverage his past connections and experience in political campaigns.
