A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to 43 months of additional prison time.
Washington, D.C., federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced the 69-year-old Manafort to 60 months in prison on the first of two criminal conspiracy counts lodged by special counsel Robert Mueller.
But 30 of those months will be served concurrently with Manafort's prior sentence in a separate case, also lodged by Mueller.
Jackson sentenced Manafort to 13 months of consecutive prison time on his second criminal count. Jackson's final sentence came in below the maximum sentence of 10 years allowed under federal sentencing guidelines.
"I am sorry for what I have done and for all the activities that have gotten us here today," Manafort told Jackson before she delivered her sentence.
"I will be 70 years old in a few weeks. My wife is 66. She needs me. I need her. I ask you to think of this and our need for each other," Manafort said in an emotional plea to the judge.
Manafort's combined sentences will put him behind bars for 7½ years.
