The day news broke that Paul Manafort’s condo in Alexandria had been raided by federal agents, an influential friend reached out.
“Please know you are in my prayers,” Fox News host Sean Hannity wrote Manafort in August 2017, one of hundreds of text messages unsealed Friday by D.C. federal court Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
“I won’t sell out,” Manafort promised. “I cannot allow them to win . . . it would empower them to go after [Trump] and lots of others.”
The conversations first came to the judge’s attention when prosecutors included them as part of their sentencing papers earlier this year, arguing Manafort was unrepentant and should be dealt with harshly.
