Trump claims vindication after Manafort's light sentence, but misstates judge's declaration

President Donald Trump, after his former campaign chairman was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for tax and bank fraud, said Friday that those involved in Paul Manafort's case affirmed there was "no collusion" with Russia.

"Both the Judge and the lawyer in the Paul Manafort case stated loudly and for the world to hear that there was NO COLLUSION with Russia. But the Witch Hunt Hoax continues as you now add these statements to House & Senate Intelligence & Senator Burr. So bad for our Country!" Trump tweeted.

Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House before his trip to Alabama to tour storm-damaged areas, Trump repeated that the "judge said there was no collusion with Russia," adding that he feels "very badly" for Manafort.

But that's not what the judge overseeing the case said.
