UPDATE 1-Trump says he feels very badly for former campaign chairman Manafort
Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, also said it has been a tough time for Manafort, and said he was honored by the judge's remarks at the Thursday sentencing. "I feel very badly for Paul Manafort. I think it's been a very, very tough time," he said. "The judge - I mean for whatever reason I was very honored by it - also made the statement that this had nothing to do with collusion with Russia."
Trump reiterated his position that he did not assist Russia in allegedly interfering in the 2016 presidential election that he won, saying, "I don't collude with Russia." Russia has denied the allegations that it meddled in the election, which led to the investigation spearheaded by Special Counsel Robert Mueller that has ensnared Manafort and others in Trump's orbit.
