Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe said Sunday that he was "shocked" that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was sentenced to just under four years in prison for a variety of financial crimes.

"I was really surprised by the sentence he was given. I think it’s an incredibly lenient sentence in light not just of the offenses he was convicted for, but the additional offenses that he has pled guilty to in D.C.," McCabe said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

"Like most people, I was shocked by how lenient the sentence was,” he added.

A federal judge in Virginia last Thursday sentenced Manafort to 47 months in prison, well below the 19 1/2 to 24 years Manafort could have received under the advisory sentencing recommendations.

McCabe noted on Sunday that there’s “no question” Manafort will get additional time when he’s sentenced by a D.C. court judge this week, though he added that it's not Judge Amy Berman Jackson's duty to take into account the Virginia sentencing.

McCabe, who was fired from the FBI last year after an internal report found he was not forthcoming with investigators, also chastised President Trump for his regular attacks on the justice system and defenses of Manafort.

While McCabe suggested in his book, "The Threat," that such comments could amount to witness tampering, he acknowledged on Sunday that he does not believe that influenced Manafort's sentencing last week.

"But the point that I try to make in the book is to try to highlight how incredibly irresponsible and indeed corrosive statements like that from the chief executive are on the process and on the public's perception of the fairness and the effectiveness of the process."

Freeda Foreman was a former boxer herself and had a 5-1 record before retiring in 2001, reported the Houston Chronicle. Police went to her home to check on reports about whether it was a suicide, reported Click2Houston.com. But those reports were unconfirmed.

“Dad never wanted any of his kids to see him fight,” she said in 2000, Yahoo News reported. “He always protected us from that world.”

According to TMZ, “Her parents also didn’t enjoy her being in the ring … so George reportedly paid her to quit.”

Freeda Foreman, daughter of iconic boxer George Foreman, was found dead at her Atascocita home Friday night, according to sources.

She is one of Foreman’s seven daughters, and she appeared in documentaries about him. She also lent her voice to the Fox animated series “King of the Hill.”

She is survived by her husband, two daughters, three grandchildren, her parents, and 11 brothers and sisters. All of her brothers are named George, and Freeda’s middle name was George, too.

Freeda said via her Twitter biography: “Aside from my love of family, being a good mother, wife, and friend, I aspire to make a positive difference in our American Criminal Justice System.”

Tragic.
