The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort's sentencing of 47 months in prison for fraud and other financial crimes, unrelated to Russia.
RT reports () that Manafort found himself in special counsel’s crosshairs as the manager of President Donald Trump’s campaign between March and August 2016, but the bank fraud, tax fraud and failure to declare a foreign bank account the eight charges on which he was found guilty last August in a federal court in Virginia have nothing to do with the 2016 presidential election, and everything to do with Manafort’s lobbying activities in Ukraine.
"He is not before the court for anything having to do with colluding with the Russian government,” Judge T.S. Ellis III told the courtroom on Thursday.
After lengthy consultations with both prosecutors and defense, Ellis said that Manafort “lived an otherwise blameless life,”so the sentence requested by prosecutors was “excessive.” His final verdict, which came around 7 pm local time, was 47 months – just short of four years – and a $50,000 fine. Manafort was also told to pay $24.8 million in restitution.
