Manafort Suspended In DC

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals has suspended Paul Manafort

From the Bar’s web page

Date of Action: January 10, 2019

Type of action: Court action

Summary of Action: Manafort was suspended on an interim basis based upon his conviction of a serious crime in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

If the Board on Professional Responsibility finds that the crime[s] involve moral turpitude per se, it will recommend disbarment.

If he is pardoned he can nonetheless be suspended or disbarred on the underlying facts. (Mike Frisch)
