Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was sentenced to 73 months in prison after pleading guilty to two charges in DC District Court. The charges include conspiracy to violate FARA and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Manafort is scheduled to be tried on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, failing to register as a foreign agent, money laundering, witness tampering, and more.
A jury found Manafort guilty on eight of 18 counts against him, carrying a maximum sentence of 80 years. At the March 13 hearing, Manafort will be sentenced on the two charges he pleaded guilty to — conspiracy and witness tampering — as part of his admission that he was guilty.
Manafort was sentenced to 73 months in prison, with 30 months concurrent with the jail time he had received in the Virginia case. This resulted in an additional 43 months in jail (30 additional months for conspiracy to defraud the United States, and 13 additional months for witness tampering).
In addition to his criminal case in Washington, DC, Manafort was sentenced to about 7.5 years in federal prison for financial crimes. A federal judge nearly doubled the prison sentence of President Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to seven and a half years. Special counsel Robert Mueller and his team of prosecutors have indicted 34 individuals and three Russian businesses. Judge Amy Berman Jackson has handed down the District of Columbia sentence to Manafort, combining more jail time for Donald Trump’s former campaign manager over crimes exposed in the Mueller probe.
