"Please let my wife and I be together. Please don't take away any longer than the 47 months," he said, referring to the 47-month sentence he received in the Virginia case.Judge Jackson could sentence him to up to 10 years in prison for crimes related to unregistered foreign lobbying and witness tampering, unrelated to his work on the Trump campaign.

Weissman said Manafort's upbringing and education could have led him to"lead a life and to be a leading example for this country," and instead he"chose to take a different path.
"This case is not about murder, drug cartels, organized crime, the Madoff Ponzi scheme or the collapse of Enron," Manafort's legal team argued in a sentencing memo."Mr. Manafort does not dispute his guilt, but these factors do not warrant a substantial period of imprisonment in this case."
