Hit with conspiracy charge, witness tampering offense
A federal judge in Washington, D. C. sentenced Paul Manafort to 73 months in prison on Wednesday, days after the former Trump campaign chairman receiving a 47 month sentence in a separate case in Virginia.
U. S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that Manafort will serve some of his sentence concurrently with his sentence in Virginia. In all, Manafort will spend around seven-and-a-half years in jail for a variety of crimes related to consulting work he did in Ukraine prior to joining the Trump campaign.
During Wednesday’s hearing, Jackson noted that prosecutors with the special counsel’s office did not present evidence of collusion between Manafort, the Trump campaign and Russians to influence the 2016 election.
“The question of whether there was any collusion with Russia…was not presented in this case, period, therefore it was not resolved by this case,” said Jackson .
