WASHINGTON — Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman who was sentenced last week to nearly four years in prison, was ordered on Wednesday to serve an additional three and a half years for conspiracy, closing out the special counsel’s highest-profile prosecution.
New York Times: Paul Manafort is sentenced to 3.5 more years in prison
Paul Manafort served as campaign manager for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Judge Amy Berman Jackson of Federal District Court in Washington, D.C., sentenced Manafort, 69, on two conspiracy counts that encompassed a host of crimes, including money-laundering, obstruction of justice and failing to disclose lobbying work that earned him tens of millions of dollars over more than a decade. Much of the earnings came when he served as an adviser to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, ousted by the EuroMaidan Revolution in 2014.
