Paul Manafort’s Daughter Changing Last Name

09.02.18 | 3:02 pm

Paul Manafort’s daughter Jessica Manafort, 36, filed paperwork late Friday to change her name to Jessica Anne Bond, the New York Post reported Saturday night. She’s seeking the name change, she told the Post, “to separate myself and my work from a public perception that has nothing to do with the person that I am.” Bond is Jessica’s mother’s maiden name, the Post noted.

Judge: “All right, we’ve disposed of Ms. Manafort’s case. Bailiff, please call the next name-change petition.”
Bailiff: “In the Matter of Melania Trump”!

O Melania can get her name change with the divorce decree.

I suspect the next name on that docket would be “In the matter of Tiffany Trump.” hahahaha
