Former Trump Campaign Chairman will serve an additional 43-months on federal prison, Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Wednesday.
In total, Manafort will serve seven and a half years.
Here’s the report by CNBC
After the ruling Manafort’s attorney Kevin Downing, was forced to cut short his court room steps speech after he was shouted down by some in the audience when he claimed the judge did not find any evidence of collusion with Russia in the Manafort case.
“That is not what she said,” a loud voice can be heard from the audience drowning Downey’s voice. “You guys are not lawyers, you’re liars!”
Judge Jackson, in fact, described Manafort’s lawyers “no collusion” mantra as a non sequitor fallacy, an illogical conclusion to an argument.
Manafort joins a growing list of people linked to President Donald Trump convicted of crimes or pleaded guilty.
Manafort, however, has so far received the longest sentence.
