Another US President Donald Trump’s adviser, Roger Stone, is awaiting trial.
Stone will be one of six top advisers and associates of Trump’s 2016 presidential election campaign to be charged in the Mueller investigation.
Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen is to begin serving a three-year prison sentence on May 6 for fraud, tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions and lying to Congress.
George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy advisor to the Trump campaign, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and was sentenced to two weeks in prison.
Trump has repeatedly denied any election collusion with Moscow and denounced the probe by Mueller, a former FBI director, as a “political witch hunt.”
Trump has also dangled the possibility of pardons for some of those indicted — including Manafort, whom he has praised as a “good man” who has been treated unfairly.
Manafort has been charged in Washington with money laundering, witness tampering and other offenses and faces separate sentencing in that case on March 13.
