43 more months in jail for Manafort

Donald Trump’s ex-campaign chief Paul Manafort has been jailed for 43 more months on charges stemming from the Russia investigation.

The sentence comes a week after Manafort was given a 47-month prison sentence for fraud in a separate case.

Manafort was being sentenced for concealing  foreign lobbying work he did on behalf of a pro-Russia Ukrainian political party.

Manafort had pleaded with the judge not to impose any additional prison time beyond the roughly four-year sentence he received in a separate case last week and apologised for his crimes.
