The trial of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort has found no evidence of any collusion with Russia, Manafort’ s lawyer Kevin Downing told reporters.
The lawyer spoke after Manafort was sentenced to 47 months in prison in the US state of Virginia over bank and tax fraud related to his work in Ukraine.
Judge T.S. Ellis during the hearing on Thursday said the government’s sentencing request of 19 to 24 years was “excessive” and sentenced Manafort to 47 months instead.
