Nutmeg State native and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was granted released from prison Wednesday as part of a compassionate release program amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to his attorney.

The 71-year-old Manafort left a low-security prison in Loretto, Pennsylvania, and headed to his home in northern Virginia after requesting that the Bureau of Prisons release him for the remainder of his sentence. The former New Britain resident became one of at least 2,471 of the nation’s 169,000 federal inmates who have been released to home confinement since March in an effort to avoid coronavirus infection.
