Manafort had been sentenced to 47 months in prison just a week earlier in another case lodged by Mueller in Virginia federal court.
A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to 43 months of additional prison time.
"I am sorry for what I have done and for all the activities that have gotten us here today," Manafort told Jackson before she delivered her sentence. But federal judge T.S. Ellis sentenced Manafort to less than four years in prison, saying at the sentencing that Manafort had lived an"otherwise blameless life." Manafort was also ordered to pay a $50,000 fine, which was the lowest amount provided for by federal guidelines.
Jackson said Wednesday morning that her decision"what is happening today is not or can not be a revision of a sentence that is imposed by another court." She denied to amend her ruling from February that Manafort had lied to prosecutors in breach of his plea deal, saying that the special counsel's office"proved beyond a preponderance of evidence that Mr. Manafort intentionally gave false testimony."
