Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has been jailed for 73 months after admitting two charges of conspiracy.
A federal judge sentenced the 69-year-old to more than three-and-half additional years in prison on top of the almost four-year sentence he received in a separate case in Virginia last week.
Paul Manafort will be sentenced again next week in another case brought by Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian collusion Before his sentencing, the 69-year-old said:"I am sorry for what I have done and for all the activities that have gotten us here today. "Please let my wife and I be together," he asked US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who said she had received many letters supporting him.Paul Manafort on stage with Donald Trump at the 2016 Republican national convention, when he was his campaign manager
