    The Bureau of Prisons transferred Manafort from FCI Loretto to home confinement after his lawyers cited his age and health risks from COVID-19. He had served roughly one year of a 90-month term, and the prison had no reported case at the time. AP also described broader, shifting BOP release guidance. The administrative transfer was not an exoneration, and no cited evidence linked it to political favoritism.
