Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., argued Thursday morning that President Obama’s move to commute the sentence of Chelsea Manning shows he didn’t take “seriously” the espionage charges against the former Army soldier.

“I thought it was wrong, I really did,” Manchin said of the commutation of Manning’s sentence. Manning will serve about seven years instead of the full 35-year sentence.
