Trump said he felt “very badly” for his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort after he was sentenced to nearly four years in prison, adding the judge found “there was no collusion [with Russia]. It’s a collusion hoax. It’s a collusion witch hoax.”
his 2016 campaign chairman to nearly four years in prison sentence "stated loudly" that there was "no collusion" between his presidential campaign and the Russian government.
“Both the Judge and the lawyer in the Paul Manafort case stated loudly and for the world to hear that there was NO COLLUSION with Russia,” Trump tweeted Friday. Manafort’s sentence is the longest for a Trump ally to arise from the Russia investigation, and it could get longer next week after he is sentenced by a federal judge in D.C. in a separate case, where he pleaded guilty to acting as an unregistered foreign agent for Ukraine, money laundering and witness tampering.
