Mueller recommends 19 to 24 Years in prison for Paul Manafort !!TRUMPS CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN!! [View all]

Prosecutors for special counsel Robert Mueller said in a new court filing that President Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort is facing a sentence of 19.5 to 24.5 years in prison for the financial crimes for which he was convicted in a Virginia court last August.

Why it matters: This would essentially be a life sentence for the 69-year-old Manafort. He is also facing a separate case in D.C., where a judge recently ruled that he had violated his plea agreement with Mueller.
