Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign chairman, faced extensive federal prosecution related to his international consulting work, specifically regarding his undisclosed lobbying for the Ukrainian government and President Viktor Yanukovych. Between 2006 and 2016, he laundered over $30 million of more than $60 million in income to evade taxes and conceal his foreign agent status. Following his 2017 indictment by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Manafort was convicted in 2018 of bank and tax fraud in the Eastern District of Virginia. He later pleaded guilty in the District of Columbia to conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of justice via witness tampering. Although he initially agreed to cooperate with investigators, a judge ruled he breached his plea deal by lying. He was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison but received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump on December 23, 2020. State-level charges filed in New York in 2019 were dismissed due to double jeopardy.

MANAFORT generated tens of millions of dollars in income as a result of his Ukraine work. From approximately 2006 through 2017, MANAFORT, along with others including Richard W. Gates III (Gates), engaged in a scheme to hide the Ukraine income from United States authorities, while enjoying the use of the money. From approximately 2006 to 2015, when
