Special counsel Robert Mueller urged a federal judge in Virginia on Friday to sentence ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort to between about 19 years to 24 years in prison.
Mueller, in a court filing, also suggested the judge fine Manafort between $50,000 to $24 million, order the longtime Republican operative to pay restitution of more than $24 million, and forfeit more than $4 million.
The special counsel's recommendation is in line with a pre-sentencing report conducted by federal probation officials.
Mueller's filing came hours after he asked the judge in the case, T.S. Ellis, to set a sentencing date for Manafort"as soon as practicable."
