Manafort was convicted by a jury in August of five counts of filing false income tax returns, two counts of bank fraud and one count of failing to report a foreign bank account.

Ellis said that while Manafort had committed “very serious crimes,” he had previously led an “otherwise blameless life” and the advisory sentencing guidelines calling for 19 to 24-years behind bars were “excessive” and disproportionate to sentences for similar offenses.Manafort was convicted by a jury in August of five counts of filing false income tax returns, two counts of bank fraud and one count of failing to report a foreign bank account.

The money was used to support a lavish lifestyle which included purchases of luxury homes and cars, antique rugs, and expensive clothes, including an $18 500 python jacket. Defence attorney Kevin Downing, speaking after the sentencing, said Manafort “accepts responsibility for his conduct.” Trump has dangled the possibility of pardons for some of those indicted by Mueller – including Manafort, whom he has praised as a “good man” who has been treated unfairly.

None of the crimes had any connection wit Trump.
