Paul Manafort, US President Donald Trump's former election campaign chief, should be jailed for up to 24 years.

That's the verdict from the FBI special counsel Robert Mueller, who says he should receive a minimum jailtime of 19 years.

Manafort was found guilty earlier this week of breaching his plea deal.

It's also been revealed that the 69-year-old lied to prosecutors.
