Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been hospitalized for a cardiac event as he serves out his prison sentence, according to an ABC report Tuesday.
Two sources familiar with Manafort’s situation told ABC News that Manafort, who is 70 years old, is stable and could be released from the local hospital he’s been staying at in central Pennsylvania since Thursday soon.
Although Manafort had a court appearance scheduled Wednesday, his attorney Todd Blanche was informed that he would not appear. Blanche told ABC News that he has not been in contact with Manafort since early last week, but was updated on his condition Tuesday afternoon.
Manafort is currently serving a seven-year-sentence for charges related to former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and is set for release in 2024.

Look for a “humanitarian” pardon from the President in short time…
Hint to Lady Karma, if it please your Ladyship: Aim a little higher up the ladder. Thank you.
It’s interesting how so many criminals seem to have “cardiac events” exactly when they were to appear in court. I know it would make my heart beat faster, but that’s just another good reason not to engage in criminal activity, I think.
Manafort’s shown up in court previously in a wheelchair, only days after being photographed strutting around town, so any distress he is experiencing doesn’t move me to sympathy.
Missing his hair dye? The ostrich coat? Suffering from a broken heart?
I’m not a vindictive person by nature, but can you possibly imagine how little I care about this awful person?
I hope he lives until a day before his term is up, but i wont be sad if he dies earlier.
