Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was
sentenced Wednesday to a total of 81 months in prison in connection with his
guilty plea related to foreign lobbying and witness tampering, a term he will
serve including the 47-month sentence handed down in a separate case in
Virginia last week.
Manafort, 69, who was seated in a wheelchair at the
defense table, addressed the court before U.S. District Judge Amy Berman
Jackson's ruling.
"I am sorry what I have done and all the activities
that have got us here today," he said.
Last week, Manafort was sentenced to 47 months in prison
after a federal jury convicted him on eight counts of bank and tax fraud
charges in a separate case in Virginia.
