A lawyer who has represented Manafort did not immediately return a call and email seeking comment Wednesday.
MIAMI, Fla. — Former Trump adviser Paul Manafort was removed from a plane at Miami International Airport before it took off for Dubai because he carried a revoked passport, officials said Wednesday.
Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta confirmed that Manafort was removed from the Emirates Airline flight without incident Sunday night but directed further questions to U.S. Border and Customs Protection. That agency did not immediately respond to an email Wednesday seeking comment.

Manafort was trying to fly to Dubai.
Dubai, where Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad visited last week.
Dubai, where multiple Russian oligarch jets and yachts fled over the past few weeks.
Manafort is like the dog crap perpetually found on the boot of corruption. https://t.co/2ouhaSlfR3

Speculation on social media is that Manafort may have been close to indictment (again) and was escaping to UAE. Seems UAE and the US do not have an extradition treaty. LOL
