Paul Manafort will keep $19 million property empire including Hamptons estate and Brooklyn brownstone because of his Trump pardon (and he never handed over THOSE jackets)
Manafort s pardon of tax and bank fraud, witness tampering and conspiracy convictions means prosecutors cannot continue forfeiture proceedings against him, they told a judge Friday
Federal judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that Manafort could keep three properties of the five he forfeited - an $11 million Hamptons estate, $4 million Brooklyn townhouse and $3.5 million Manhattan apartment
He will also get to keep a savings account he had handed over but minus any taxes he still owes the IRS
