ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA - President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was sentenced on Thursday to nearly four years in prison by a US judge for financial crimes uncovered during Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election.
But Judge Ellis said the sentencing guidelines were excessive and would create"an unwarranted disparity" with other cases. It was a far cry from Manafort's usual dapper appearance and stylish garb. He has been jailed leading up to his sentencing. Manafort faces sentencing in a separate case next Wednesday in Washington on two conspiracy charges to which he pleaded guilty last September.
Gates, a key witness against Manafort, has yet to be sentenced due to his ongoing cooperation with prosecutors.
