PRESIDENT Trump's former campaign chief Paul Manafort has tonight been sentenced to nearly four years in prison for a string of financial crimes.
Manafort, who opted not to testify during his trial, told the court that "to say I have been humiliated and ashamed would be a gross understatement."Manafort, with noticeably greyer hair than just months ago, was brought into the courtroom in a wheelchair holding a cane. After Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted, prosecutors said Manafort lied to banks to secure loans and maintain an opulent lifestyle with luxurious homes, designer suits and even a $15,000 ostrich-skin jacket.Manafort faces sentencing in a separate case next Wednesday in Washington on two conspiracy charges to which he pleaded guilty last September - for which he faces 10 years.
