Manafort could be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in prison at his final sentencing hearing Wednesday before Judge Amy Berman Jackson
For the second time in less than a week, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, is set to be sentenced in a criminal case lodged by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Jackson has the option of making her sentence consecutive or concurrent with the 47-month prison term Manafort received last Thursday from Judge T.S. Ellis in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. Federal sentencing guidelines had suggested that Manafort spend anywhere between 19 and 24 years in prison for those crimes. While legal observers did not expect Ellis to impose such a long sentence, his decision to lock up the longtime Republican operative for slightly less than four years nonetheless shocked many experts, who saw it as a relatively light punishment for such a case.
