Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort expressed concern over being transferred to a state lock-up in New York, and then the Department of Justice stepped in to keep him in federal custody.
But his attorneys contacted the Federal Bureau of Prisons to express concern about his health and personal safety if such a transfer occurred and proposed he stay in federal custody, a Justice Department spokesperson told NBC News. Manafort"has been transported to New York and will be made available to the state whenever needed for his state case," the spokesman added."This arrangement will not have any impact on his state proceedings."Monday that, to their surprise, Manhattan prosecutors received an inquiry from Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen last week asking about Manafort's case.
