Manafort, 71, will serve the rest of his sentence in home confinement after arguing that he was particularly at risk for COVID-19. He cited his age and preexisting health conditions.
Manafort did not meet the guidelines for COVID-19-related release set by the Bureau of Prisons. However, the Bureau does have the discretion to release Manafort.
Manafort was sentenced to more than seven years and jailed in 2018.
