“It did seem that the sentence maybe was much more than perhaps other people get for bigger crimes.'
After President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort was sentenced to 47 months in prison late Thursday, Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway said the sentence was “maybe much more” than what others have received for more serious offenses.
When a reporter asked if Trump was considering a pardon for Manafort, Conway replied, “I haven’t discussed that it with the president. I haven’t heard him say that.” “I was surprised that I did not hear you express regret,” Ellis told Manafort. “That doesn’t make any difference on the judgment that I am about to make … but I hope you reflect on that.”
“He is not before the court for anything having to do with colluding with the Russian government to influence the election,” Ellis said Thursday.“I did work briefly with Paul Manafort and I know the president has weighed in on this previously. I would note that as Judge T.S. Ellis remarked today, there is no sentencing today that has anything to do with Russia in the campaign,” she said.
