MANAFORT FACES ANOTHER SENTENCING: Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on Wednesday faces his second federal sentencing this month, as Special Counsel Robert Mueller pushes for him to receive 10 additional years in prison on top of the 47-month term issued less than a week ago by Virginia Judge T.S. Ellis ... Two key questions remained lingering and unanswered in the hours leading up to the hearing. First: will Obama-appointed Washington, D.C., Judge Amy Berman Jackson allow Manafort to serve whatever sentence she gives him concurrently with that 47-month term? And second: Will President Trump, who has long characterized Mueller's Russia probe as a partisan "witch hunt," eventually pardon Manafort, or commute his sentence, regardless of what Jackson does?
