Manafort Seeks Leniency In Sentencing
Trump campaign adviser Paul Manafort pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy against the United States. His lawyers are arguing that at his age, a long imprisonment would amount to a 'life sentence.'
Paul Manafort's attorneys argued to a federal court on Monday that their client is not a hardened criminal and shouldn't be sentenced too harshly.
The former campaign consultant to President Trump is already facing up to 24 years in prison for conviction on tax and bank fraud in Virginia. Now a judge in Washington, D.C. will decide howlast year to charges of conspiracy against the United States, and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
