More than a year after special counsel Robert Mueller secured an 18-count indictment against Paul Manafort on charges related to tax and bank fraud, the former campaign chairman for President Donald Trump will face the first of his two sentencing hearings on Thursday afternoon.
In court documents filed last month, the special counsel's office agreed with the findings of an independent pre-sentence report, which calculated that Manafort's crimes called for a prison sentence of up to 25 years. The special counsel is seeking a sentence that"reflects the seriousness of these crimes," which prosecutors characterized as"longstanding and bold," according to court documents filed last month. In response, defense counsel for Manafort sought a term"substantially below" sentencing guidelines, citing their client's age and health.

Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign manager, faces likely prison term at sentencingPaul Manafort, who guided President Trump’s campaign through the tumultuous Republican National Convention in 2016, faces a potentially stiff prison sentence for a raft of financial crimes that were prosecuted by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Why wasn't Tony Podesta charged for doing the same things? Wow that’s misleading. I seriously that RobertMueller prosecuted ANY 'financial crimes' but simply persecuted the political opposition. Mueller has a lot to answer to to history. His show is coming to an end and the reviews begin.
