Paul Manafort was sentenced to 47 months, which is about 4 years, over tax and bank fraud.
Jimmy Kimmel targeted Paul Manafort during Thursday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! as he mocked President Donald Trump's ex-campaign chairman with a prayer amid his sentencing.
"President Trump's former campaign chairman was sentenced to 47 months in prison, which was a shock to prosecutors, who suggested a sentence of 19 to 24 years," Kimmel, 51, said on Thursday, according to Deadline."You know a sentence isn’t too stiff when they announce in months…like when you tell somebody how old your baby is."
Kimmel wasn't the only late-night host to throw jabs at Manafort. On The Late Show Thursday, host Stephen Colbert argued Manafort's sentence was"shockingly lenient" considering the crime at hand and what was initially recommended for his sentence. However, Colbert also commented on how Manafort is set to get another sentencing by a different judge next week.
