Paul Manafort, After Receiving 47 Month Sentence, To Learn Punishment In D.C. Case
"Manafort, on the eve of his second scheduled trial in Washington, struck a deal with Mueller's prosecutors, agreeing to plead guilty to conspiracy charges.
As part of that deal, Manafort agreed to cooperate with Mueller's probe of Russian interference — and possible collusion by the Trump campaign — in the 2016 election.
Trump denies any wrongdoing, and has called Mueller's investigation a "witch hunt."
In November, prosecutors accused Manafort of breaching his plea deal by lying to investigators. Jackson agreed that he lied.
Manafort has been held in jail since last June, when Jackson revoked his bail after prosecutors accused Manafort of tampering with potential witnesses."
