that quote 19 to 25 years would be excessive, and he says manafort has lived a quote otherwise blameless life. manafort's sentencing comes as special counsel robert mueller appears to be winding down his two-year investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election. mueller has charged 34 people and three companies, including six trump associates. five have pleaded guilty. manafort joined the trump campaign in the summer of 2016 and served as campaign chairman for two months. >> he saw what was going on in america. he understood the frustration and the anger. and he tapped into that. >> reporter: when the special counsel investigation began in may 2017, mueller went after the long-time lobbyist for money laundering and not paying taxes on millions of dollars he earned overseas, primarily from his work for pro-russian ukrainian t

in his bail was revoked after allegedly contacting witnesses. he was also accused of lying to mueller's investigators after agreeing to cooperate. a source tells cbs news manafort is banking on a presidential pardon. mr. trump this past summer said it was not off the table. >> he happens to be a very good person. and i think it's very sad what they've done to paul manafort. >> reporter: next week manafort will be sentenced in his other case in washington, d.c., and the big question there is whether manafort, who is about to turn 70, will be able to serve both of his sentences at the same time. jeff? >> okay, so paula, related topic tonight. it does appear -- michael cohen's testimony got so much attention last week. now it appears some of cohen's testimony is being called into question. can you talk about that a little thisecally rated t whetheon n last week cohen testified that

he never asked for a pardon. but now his attorneys have confirmed that his previous legal team did explore that possibility. cohen has previously lied to congress, admitted to that, and that is part of why he is headed to jail soon. now in other cohen news, today he also filed a lawsuit against the trump organization alleging that they have not reimbursed him for his extensive legal fees. >> paula reid with a lot to cover, great job as usual. paula in alexandria. we have been watching a tense situation here unfold all day in illinois where a sheriff's deputy was killed on the dety was part of a u.s. marshals team that was trying to arrest a man at a hotel in rockford, illinois. the suspect shot his way out. rockford near bloomington and was just taken into custody. adrian adiaz has more on this. >> be advised, officers are in distress at that location -- >> reporter: the chaos started

just after 9:00 a.m. >> we have reports of two patients right now -- >> reporter: shots fired at an extended stay hotel in rockford, illinois. roughly 75 miles west of chicago. it was an arrest gone wrong. the suspect, 39-year-old floyd brown, was wanted in at least three counties. police say as marshals executed the warrant, the suspect shot through the door, hitting deputy jacob keltner, who died at the hospital. >> based on the information we have at this point, no law enforcement officers fired any rounds during this incident. >> reporter: brown escaped in his car. leading police two and a half hours south on interstate 55. he crashed 151 miles from where the shooting began. police have closed off the major highway and brought traffic to a standstill. jeff, as you mentioned, the suspect was arrested just moments ago. and we have confirmed that officers used tear gas to get him out of the car. the standoff lasted more than four hours. jeff? >> wow, all right adriana, thank you very much.

late today the house overwhelmingly approved an anti-hate resolution. this was sparked by recent comment busy freshman democrat ilhan omar who suggested that israel supporters in the u.s. have split loyalties. house democrats proposed a resolution condemning anti-semitism but later broadened it to oppose all forms of bigotry. the vote was 407-23. republicans cast all the no votes. some said they wanted a resolution to specifically condemn omar's comments. now the 2020 campaign. cbs news has learned former vice president joe biden is very likely to enter the race. etta o'keefe reports on the timing. >> we're in the final stages of that decision. >> reporter: the former vice president is expected to launch hs presidential campaign next month. people familiar with his plans tell cbs news he's puttihe finishing touches on a campaign team and strategy. >> i want to make sure that if

we do this, and we're very close to getting to a decision, that i am fully prepared to do it. >> reporter: if he jumps in, biden would be joining a crowded field that already includes 14 democrats. but several others said just this week that they're staying out, including hillary clinton, mike bloomberg, and oregon senator jeff merkley. >> the best contribution i can make is working to make the senate a full partner in this bold agenda to save america. >> reporter: today ohio senator sherrod brown, who generated buzz for a candidacy, said he had decided to forego a run. early polls show biden would start the race at the top where he's never been president in a presidential race. he sputtered out of the 1988 campaign amid a plagiarism scandal and dropped out of the 2008 race after finishing far back in the iowa caucus. he didn't run in 2016 in part because of the death of his son, bo. this time biden could be quickly cast as out of touch with democrat's democratic party as voters scrutinize his four-decade senate record.

he's already apologized for his handling of anita hill during the clarence thomas supreme court hearings and for his support of tough on crime legislation in the 1990s. >> we must make the streets safer. >> i know, we haven't always gotten things right but i've always tried. >> reporter: one other potential challenge, for a democratic party increasingly relying on younger, female, and minority voters, biden is a 76-year-old white man. if he wins the white house, he'd replace president trump as the nation's oldest-ever president. jeff? >> ed o'keefe, good to have you here in new york, thanks. the cbs overnight news will be right back.

last week the bond was $100,000 and they said r. kelly couldn't even afford to get himself out of jail that a friend had to come and bail you out of jail. what is your financial situation, if you don't mind saying? >> here's the deal. so many people have been stealing my money. people was connected to my account. i went into -- i went by myself for the first time to bank of america. didn't know what i was doing. didn't know what the hell was going on -- >> when? when did you do that? first time by yourself? >> three weeks ago to a month. >> three weeks ago was the first time you went to bank of america -- >> absolutely. >> -- by yourself? >> by myself. because i was so tired of not knowing where my money was, where my publishing is -- >> isn't that on you, then? >> huh? >> isn't that on you? >> a lot of it's on me. >> that you don't know where your money is? >> a lot of it's on me. didn't

name and i can't work? how can i work? how can i get paid? how can i take care of my kids? how? >> your ex-wife says -- >> use your common sense! >> your ex-wife says you abused her, robert. >> lie. 13 years being married. i flew in on a helicopter. i flew in on a helicopter -- >> yes. yes. can somebody get him some tissue? >> i don't want no tissue, i'ma leave. look, man, look. i'm telling y'all. i flew in on a helicopter with a damn puppy. and i proposed to drill, who i was in love with. and told her, hey, look, i make mistakes. i'm not perfect. we got married.
