Special counsel Robert Mueller has recommended between 19 to 24 years in prison for President Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
A sentence in that range would probably mean that Manafort, 69, would spend the rest of his life behind bars.
“Manafort acted for more than a decade as if he were above the law, and deprived the federal government and various financial institutions of millions of dollars,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing Friday night.
Manafort’s sentence will be determined by federal Judge T.S. Ellis. A sentencing date has not been set.

MANAFORT lied to MUELLER's team when he claimed he "put the kibosh" on a Russia-Ukraine "peace plan" that KILIMNIK discussed with him at the GRAND HAVANA ROOM, Judge AMY BERMAN JACKSON concluded, per new transcript. "This is not supported by any evidence," including emails. pic.twitter.com/MQ5woF2oRd
