Special Counsel Robert Mueller is asking a federal judge to sentence former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort up to 24 years in prison and order him to pay as much as a $24 million fine. JUDGE RULES MANAFORT 'INTENTIONALLY' LIED TO MUELLER TEAM, VOIDING PLEA AGREEMENTOn Friday night, Mueller’s team filed a sentencing submission in that case, saying it agrees with the guidelines that call for Manafort serving 20 to 24 years in prison and paying a fine between $50,000 and $24 million. Manafort is also separately facing a sentence in a Washington case, where he pleaded guilty last year to foreign lobbying violations and witness tampering as part of a plea deal. The ruling voids his plea deal and exposes Manafort, at a minimum, to a harsher sentence. The sentencing date for the Washington case is currently set for March 13.
