Manafort’s daughter files legal bid to change name

The daughter of Donald Trump’s disgraced campaign chairman is changing her surname to separate herself from its “public perception”.

Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight charges of tax and bank fraud last month. His daughter Jessica, a filmmaker, has filed paperwork in a New York court to change her last name, as the public perception “has nothing to do with the person that I am”, the New York Post reported.
