Megathread: Paul Manafort Sentenced to 47 Months in VA Federal Court

Manafort, who led the Trump campaign for several months in 2016, was sentenced in the Eastern District of Virginia for hiding millions he was paid by Ukrainian oligarchs in overseas bank accounts and falsifying his finances to get loans when his patrons lost power. Prosecutors painted him as a hardened criminal who needed to be made to understand the seriousness of his wrongdoing, while Manafort contended he was collateral damage in the special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.Submissions that may interest youSUBMISSIONDOMAINManafort sentenced to 47 months in prisonapnews.comPaul Manafort was just sentenced to almost four years in prisonvox.comPaul Manafort sentenced to 4 years in prisonaxios.comPaul Manafort Sentenced to Almost Four Years in Prisonvariety.comPaul Manafort, former Trump campaign chairman, sentenced to less than 4 years in prisonnbcnews.comPaul Manafort Sentenced To 47 Months.cbsnews.comPaul Manafort, Trump's Former Campaign Chairman, Sentenced to 47 Months for Tax and Bank Fraudtime.comPaul Manafort sentenced to 47 months in prison — live updatescbsnews.comPaul Manafort sentenced to 47 months in prisoncnn.comManafort sentenced to 4 years in prisonthehill.com'Humiliated and ashamed.'
