Ex-bank CEO charged with lending millions to Paul Manafort in exchange for help getting Trump White House job

Stephen Calk, former CEO of Federal Savings Bank, has been indicted on charges that he loaned former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort millions of dollars in exchange for Manafort’s help securing a high-level Trump administration position.

According to prosecutors, Manafort received three separate home loans from Federal Savings Bank in 2016 and 2017, valued up to $16 million.

In exchange for the loans, Manafort secured a spot on a prestigious Trump campaign committee for Calk, and helped get him a formal interview with the Trump transition team, although Calk wasn’t ultimately offered a job, the indictment says.
