Paul Manafort sentenced to 47 months in prison

📸: ALEXANDRIA DETENTION CENTER

Former Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been sentenced by Alexandria, Virginia federal judge T.S. Ellis to just 47 months in prison.

Manafort, who entered the courtroom in a green jumpsuit and in a wheelchair received a small fraction of the 25 years suggested by prosecutors for defrauding banks and failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars in income he earned from overseas consulting.

The 69-year-old was also ordered to pay restitution by the Judge and will have three years of supervised release. However, Manafort will still be sentenced by a DC judge next week for further crimes.

It’s unclear how tonight’s sentence will impact next week’s pending sentence.
