"I have not even given it a thought as of this moment," Trump said told reporters at the White House, just hours after after being sentenced in a different case last week."It is not something that's right now on my mind.""I feel very badly for Paul Manafort," Trump said."It's a very sad situation."Manafort was sentenced by a federal judge to 43 months in prison Wednesday on convictions related to undisclosed lobbying work he did on behalf of Ukrainian politicians close to Russia, bringing his federal prison stint from two separate cases to 7.5 years.
Shortly after his sentence was handed down in Washington, Manafort was hit by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance with indictments on 16 charges related to what prosecutors say was a residential mortgage-fraud scheme and conspiracy. Told by a reporter that Manafort wouldn't be eligible for a pardon on state-level charges, Trump said,"I don't know anything about it."
