Paul Manafort has been hospitalized following a reported 'cardiac event' in prison. The 70-year-old former Trump campaign chairman and lobbyist is currently serving a seven-year sentence, primarily for for financial crimes related to his work overseas.

Manafort was scheduled for a Wednesday court appearance, however his attorney was informed that he would be unable to appear, according to ABC News, which notes that in 2018, Manafort appeared in court in a wheelchair - citing serious medical conditions related to his diet.

According to sources, he is stable and could be released soon.

He is slated for release on Christmas Day, 2024.

Earlier Tuesday, Manafort's former right-hand man and business partner-turned-rat, Rick Gates, was sentenced to 45 days in jail after helping federal prosecutors in their cases against Manafort, Roger Stone, and Greg Craig.
