A federal judge in Washington, D.C., sentenced Paul Manafort to 73 months in prison on Wednesday following his conviction on charges of unregistered foreign lobbying and witness tampering.
As he left the courthouse, Manafort attorney Kevin Downing told ABC News that he was"disappointed" in the sentence. He called Judge Jackson"hostile towards Mr. Manafort," with a level of"callousness" he said he hasn't seen in his many years of white-collar prosecution.Manafort entered the courtroom Wednesday morning in a wheelchair, wearing a black suit, white shirt and purple tie.
"Please let my wife and I be together. Please don't take away any longer than the 47 months," Manafort said Wednesday, referring to the 47-month sentence he received in the Virginia case. She reminded both legal teams that this case was not about Russia or about special counsel Robert Mueller and his prosecutors.
Earlier, Jackson began the hearing by emphasizing the counts Manafort was being sentenced for in the D.C. case and underscored that he was not being sentenced for the crimes he was convicted of in Virginia, which carried steeper sentencing penalties. "Mr. Manafort has come forward, he's accepted responsibility by pleading guilty," Manafort's attorney Thomas Zehnle told the judge.
Manafort's financial charges relate to criminal activities that occurred between 2006 and 2015, though the witness tampering charge relates to contacts he made in 2017 after he was indicted.

How well has Rwanda healed 25 years after the genocide?Not well enough, apparently, for President Paul Kagame to ease his grip Wow, 25 years! I remember that as the time when I switched off the news and my mother held me as I cried inconsolable tears. My distance from all of it is a luxury of which I am well aware. The world has not come out to really talk to take actions. Tusi over power Hutu is genocide, Allied forces over came Germany's, we knew 6millon jews killed, Myanmar's killings nothing, Nigeria's killings nothing, Sudan killings nothing, when the killers are in power not genocide.
