Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris responds to Manafort sentencing: 'Absolute unfairness' in the judicial system
The crimes, though serious among white-collar offenses, did not relate directly to Manafort's work as Trump's 2016 campaign chairman. Reacting to Manafort's sentencing, President Donald Trump tweeted Friday morning, taking the judge's remarks slightly out of context, that the judge in the Manafort case and Manafort's defense lawyer"stated loudly and for the world to hear that there was NO COLLUSION with Russia.
Throughout the three-hour hearing, Manafort had been stoic, seated in a wheelchair because of gout in his legs, his eyes cast down, shoulders hunched and hands in his lap. After the hearing ended, Manafort's eyes appeared bloodshot as he was wheeled out of the room, back into custody. Manafort has been held in solitary confinement for nine months for his own safety, after he violated his bail terms by contacting possible witnesses in his case.
