BREAKING: Paul Manafort’s prison sentence was upped to seven-and-a-half years on Wednesday morning
Paul Manafort’s prison sentence was upped to seven-and-a-half years on Wednesday morning, bringing an end to Robert Mueller’s most public legal battle and capping a spectacular fall for the globetrotting GOP consultant and former chairman of the Trump campaign.
“I am sorry for what I have done and for all the activities that have gotten us here today," said Manafort, contrite and stone-faced, facing up to 10 years for charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller that the longtime GOP lobbyist acted as an unregistered foreign agent for Ukraine and tampered with witnesses.
In the courtroom Wednesday, Manafort directly acknowledged chatter that he had yet to fully accept responsibility for his crimes, leading some to suspect he was appealing to Trump for a pardon.
