'I feel very badly for Paul Manafort,' Trump said on Friday. 'I think it's been a very, very tough time for him.'

During Thursday's proceedings in a courtroom in Alexandria, Virginia, US District Court Judge T.S. Ellis noted the distinction, saying that Manafort was "not before this court for anything having to do with collusion with the Russian government to influence this election".

Paul Manafort, former chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign, was sentenced to 47 months in prison.Trump said he was "very honoured" by the judge's words, adding: "It's a collusion hoax. It's a collusion witch hoax. I don't collude with Russia.

At a trial last year, Manafort was found guilty of hiding millions he made lobbying on behalf of Ukrainian politicians in overseas bank accounts, then falsifying his finances to get loans when his patrons lost power. Prosecutors highlighted his lavish lifestyle, saying his crimes were used to pay for high-end clothes and multiple properties.

"I feel very badly for Paul Manafort," Trump told reporters outside the White House. "I think it's been a very, very tough time for him."Manafort contends he is mere collateral damage in Mueller's investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.

Yet there are still those that believe everything that comes out of his mouth rather than what the actual facts of the circumstances are. Why not try it right, people can be incredibly dumb

Still no collusion, eh? Manafort is facing two conspiracy charges next week which will likely get him 10-15 years in prison. It’s amusing how Trump supporters keep saying that there is no collusion. Conspiracy is the same thing as collusion. not sure about his hair colour

Russia viciously turns on ‘clown’ TrumpRussian state media has praised North Korean leader Kim Jong-un while slamming US President Donald Trump following the duo’s failed summit in Vietnam. Less activism more journalism But, but, but, but, but, he's been colluding with Russia. What is going on? 😂😂😂 Wait, so remind me, is Trump a Russian puppet this week or not? You keep claiming he colluded with them, but not today apparently. Seriously does fake news get any more laughable than parroting the ludicrous Daily Beast reporting on the rantings of a Russian nobody?

US judge dismisses Stormy Daniels's lawsuit against President Donald TrumpThe lawsuit to repeal the non-disclosure agreement between Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump has been dismissed because the President has agreed to not enforce the NDA. Ummm no. That's incorrect. This case forced the NDA to be decided upon. Trump up until a few weeks ago wanted to keep this disclosed. She won. She got what she wanted This is a very misleading headline. Clickbait should be beneath you, . Please, do better. Word on the street is Cohen had some sort of dealings with Stormy and paid her money saying it was for Trump.
