Summary
Paul Manafort said on Sean Hannity's show that several months in solitary confinement were among the scariest moments of his life, describing the isolation as physically and emotionally punishing.
Manafort said faith helped him endure the ordeal after he was placed alone in a cell with a bunk bed, metal desk, toilet, shower and no windows.
The former Trump campaign chairman was convicted on 8 counts in 2018 in Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, including bank and tax fraud, and was pardoned by Trump in 2020.
The interview, which also featured Roger Stone, revives a grievance long voiced by Trump allies, who have cast the Russia inquiry as a witch hunt.
