A Hell of a Performance by Paul Manafort
The man who once made strongmen and oligarchs look good is now tasked with rehabilitating his own image before a jury.
Paul Manafort lumbered into the courtroom, his movements as stiff as you would expect of a man who now sleeps on a concrete bed. Over the years, Manafort constantly explored novel methods for preserving his youth, for tending to the details of his appearance. In his mid-60s, he took to receiving regular manicures. And to any casual acquaintance, it was clear that he carefully managed the tint of his hair.
The correctional facility in Alexandria, Virginia—which now counts as his fourth and primary residence—doesn’t apparently offer the services to which he has grown accustomed.
