Judge Amy Berman Jackson of Federal District Court in Washington, D.C., sentenced Manafort, 69, on two conspiracy counts that encompassed a host of crimes, including money-laundering, obstruction of justice and failing to disclose lobbying work that earned him tens of millions of dollars over more than a decade. Much of the earnings came when he served as an adviser to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, ousted by the EuroMaidan Revolution in 2014.
