The flurry of messages span from mid-July 2017 until early 2018, before Manafort was convicted on multiple tax and bank fraud charges in the Eastern District of Virginia.

"My view of the Special Counsel investigation and the treatment of Paul Manafort were made clear every day to anyone who listens to my radio show or watches my TV show," Hannity tweeted Friday.

While the names of the two men are redacted in the documents, logs of the later messages, while blurry, show their names.

The messages were initially filed under seal as an attachment to a government sentencing memo in February. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, the judge overseeing Manafort’s case, ordered them released on Friday.
