Once a globe-trotting political operative who helped elect President Trump and three of his Republican predecessors, Paul Manafort returned to federal court Wednesday as a felon apologizing for his criminal conduct and awaiting word on how much more prison time he could receive in the hard fall from his power-broker days.
Manafort, 69, apologized to “all those negatively affected by my actions,” acknowledging that he did not express such regret when sentenced days ago before Judge T.S. Ellis III to 47 months in prison for bank and tax fraud.
