Manafort given 7 years, indicted in new case

By Michael Hernandez</p> <p>WASHINGTON (AA) – Former Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort now faces a combined sentence of more than seven years behind bars following his second federal prison sentence. </p> <p>Manafort received 43 more months in prison after being sentenced last week to nearly four years in a separate financial crimes case. </p> <p>The new sentence, handed down by Judge Amy Berman Jackson, was tied to crimes the soon-to-be 70-year-old pleaded guilty to last year. </p> <p>That plea agreement allowed for his term to be served concurrently with any sentence he received from the case in Virginia.</p> <p>But Jackson previously determined Manafort violated the terms of his plea deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team. </p> <p>He is expected to receive credit for the nine months he has already served in jail as proceedings carried on.</p> <p>Manafort was indicted in a separate state case in New York just minutes after his sentence was handed down Wednesday. </p> <p>He faces a 16-count indictment in a case the U.S. president could not issue a pardon in. The charges are tied to alleged efforts to falsify financial documents in order to secure loans worth millions of dollars. </p> <p>Presidents can issue pardons in federal cases, but not state ones. </p> <p>
