Second Manafort sentencing brings total to 7.5 years

A federal judge on Wednesday added 43 months to Paul Manafort’s prison term, bringing the former Trump campaign chairman’s overall sentence to 7 1/2 years.

Manafort, 69, appeared before District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C., wearing a suit with a light purple tie and seated in a wheelchair.

He faced sentencing for conspiracy charges that he pleaded guilty to as part of a deal with prosecutors in September. He faced a maximum of 10 years in prison for those crimes.
