Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been sentenced to 47 months in prison for tax and bank fraud related to his work advising Ukrainian politicians, which was unrelated to the Trump campaign.

Judge T.S. Ellis III imposed the sentence on March 7, capping the only jury trial following indictments stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
