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.
