In the annals of American political sleaze, few figures are quite as remarkable as Paul Manafort, the former lobbyist, campaign operative and chair of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential bid. Given the ignominy of Manafort’s fall and the extraordinary scale of his corruption, one might have thought even Trump wouldn’t want to touch him with a 10-foot pole. But apparently, Trump wants to involve Manafort in the 2024 campaign.
When Trump brings a man like that back to occupy a prominent position in his campaign, he sends several messages. The first is that there is no depth of corruption that Trump will not approve of. We knew this already, to be sure, but over the last few years, the whole Republican Party has come to a new understanding of this issue.
