Paul Manafort’s Book Deal May Breach Plea Agreement

Just Security: “The plea agreement Manafort entered into with the government allowed him to write anything he wanted, but provided that he could not profit from any such writings — a provision that the government uses when defendants in high-profile matters might seek to profit from their crimes.”

“One legal issue is whether the presidential pardon Manafort received voids this provision in the plea agreement. The answer to that question is surely no.”

Manafort’s book comes out in August.
