Breaking: Paul Manafort gets 47 months in prison for financial fraud
Paul Manafort, the one-time 2016 Trump campaign chairman and longtime Republican lobbyist, has been sentenced to 47 months in prison, a punishment that could amount to a life sentence if the 69-year-old does not win a presidential pardon.
Manafort’s sentence, handed down Thursday by U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III in Alexandria, Va., is the longest to date for a Trump associate ensnared in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. The longtime GOP operative was last August on eight felony counts, including filing false tax returns, failure to register foreign bank accounts and bank fraud.Manafort will also be sentenced next Wednesday on separate charges that he served as an unregistered foreign agent for Ukraine, laundered money and tampered with a witness.
