Ex-CIA director John Brennan has no doubt Trump will pardon Manafort, the only question he wants answered is 'when.'
Ex-CIA director John Brennan on Monday said he has no doubt President Donald Trump will pardon his former 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort who was recently sentenced to 47-months in prison.
The former CIA director, who’s a frequent critic of Trump, pointed to how “highly” the president speaks of Manafort and his repeated assertions that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is merely a “witch hunt” to reinforce his prediction. Although Manafort told the judge that “saying I feel humiliated and ashamed would be a gross understatement,” he didn’t offer an apology for his crimes.
