Feds Move To Take Paul Manafort's Trump Tower Condo
Source: NPR
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has moved to seize former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's condo in Trump Tower in New York.
According to a court filing from Friday, the seizure is expected take place on or after Oct. 20.
The prosecutors said the federal government would "take full and exclusive custody and control" as part of a broader forfeiture, and Manafort signed the document.
The move follows a plea deal that Manafort made last month. As NPR's Carrie Johnson and Ryan Lucas reported, he pleaded guilty two felonies rather than face trial on charges related to his lobbying work for Ukraine and alleged witness tampering. He agreed to cooperate "in any and all matters" that prosecutors deemed relevant.

This link - https://www.usa.gov/auctions-and-sales also includes links to other federal websites that list auctions.
I often hear radio ads here in Philly announcing auctions of cars (usually GSA fleet vehicles and some seized ones).

There aren't enough treatment facilities in New York City, and after New York State confiscates Trump's penthouse for back taxes we can turn that into a homeless shelter. Perhaps we can house and treat all of the Veterans who are currently homeless. Do something to help THE PEOPLE, instead of rich assholes, for a change.
