Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe says he was stunned by the 'incredibly lenient sentence' a judge delivered to ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort late last week.
"I think it was an incredibly lenient sentence," the former acting FBI director told CBS's "Face the Nation."
On Thursday, Judge T.S. Ellis, a federal judge in Virginia, sentenced Manafort to just under four years in prison for tax and bank fraud — far below what the sentencing guidelines called for. Manafort was convicted in August on eight federal felony counts — five counts of tax fraud, two counts of bank fraud and one count of failure to report foreign bank and financial accounts. Ellis had declared a mistrial on the 10 other charges he faced.
Reacting to Manafort's sentencing on Friday, Trump said he felt"very badly" for Manafort, whose charges stemmed from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Trump added that he was"very honored" by comments the judge made, but misstated Ellis' remarks, claiming the judge said his campaign did not collude with Russia in an effort to influence the 2016 election.
