BBC Radio 4 - Profile, Paul Manafort

An insight into the character of an influential person making the news headlines.

Trump's former campaign chief Paul Manafort, who has allegedly paid millions by Russian oligarchs, is under house arrest after being charged with money laundering and fraud.

He's worked with almost every US President since Gerald Ford. Paul Manafort, a political lobbyist and Trump's former campaign manager, is under house arrest charged with money laundering and fraud, his lavish lifestyle of luxurious mansions, fast cars and antique rugs laid bare by the FBI. Mark Coles profiles this powerbroker who some say may become a key witness for the investigation into Russia's alleged meddling in the US election.

Producers: Beth Sagar-Fenton & Siobhan O'Connell.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
