Ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort hospitalized for cardiac event

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was hospitalized last week after suffering a cardiac event in prison, according to his attorney.

The attorney, Todd Blanche, declined to elaborate on the 70-year-old ex-Trump campaign chief's condition, but told the Daily News he was still recovering at a hospital in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

Spokespeople for the federal Bureau of Prisons did not immediately return a request for comment.

Manafort has been behind bars at the U.S. Penitentiary at Canaan Township near Scranton, Pa., since April. He's serving a more than seven-year prison sentence over his conviction on charges stemming from former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election and possible coordination with President Trump's campaign.
