( Reuters ) - The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear an appeal by a Chicago bank's former CEO who was convicted of bribery after approving $16 million in risky loans to Paul Manafort , Donald Trump's 2016 campaign chairman, in a bid to land a senior job in Trump 's administration. The justices turned away the appeal by Stephen Calk , a former chairman and chief executive of Federal Savings Bank , of a lower court's decision to uphold his conviction and prison sentence of one year and one day .
