Paul Manafort, the former chairman of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, was sentenced Wednesday in the second of two cases against him from the special counsel Robert Mueller, according to Business Insider.

Last week, Manafort was sentenced in the first case, brought in Virginia, to 47 months in prison.

In the second case, he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and one count of obstruction. US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Manafort to 60 months for the first count, with 30 months running concurrent to his sentence in the Virginia case.

For the second count, Jackson sentenced Manafort to 13 months, to run consecutive to the sentence in the first count and the Virginia sentence.

In total, Manafort has been sentenced to 90 months, or seven and a half years in prison.
