Paul Manafort Was Just Sentenced to Four Years in Prison – Mother Jones
The former Trump campaign chief will be sentenced on separate charges next week.
A federal judge in Virginia sentenced former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, 69, to 47 months in prison on tax and bank fraud charges on Thursday.
The sentence follows Manafort’s conviction last August on charges that he failed to pay taxes on at least $16 million he was paid in the early 2010s for consulting and lobbying work for former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russian leader who fled to Moscow after a 2014 uprising, and his allies. Manafort was also convicted of defrauding multiple banks to secure large loans after his consulting income dried up in 2015.
============================================
This is the first sentencing Manafiort will face this month, Next week in D.C. he will face sentencing for conspiracy, witness tampering, and other charges to which Manafort pleaded guilty late last year.
