A federal judge should consider giving former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort a sentence that would send him to prison for at least 17 and a half years, Special Counsel Robert Mueller said in a court filing made public Saturday.

That could amount to a life sentence for the 69-year-old Manafort, who became one of the most prominent targets of Mueller's probe into alleged collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

Manafort faces a pair of sentencing hearings in the coming weeks in Virginia and in Washington where judges will determine what punishment he should face in two separate criminal cases brought by Mueller's office involving tax fraud, bank fraud, unregistered lobbying for a foreign government and witness tampering.

The new court submission in Washington released on Saturday makes no explicit recommendation about how much prison time Manafort should serve, but urges U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to consider making the longtime political consultant and lobbyist serve a total sentence in the roughly 17-to-22-year range by making her sentence consecutive to one a Virginia judge is expected to impose ahead of her early next month.
