Former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos reported to federal prison to serve his two-week sentence after pleading guilty to one count of making a false statement to the FBI, an admission of guilt Papadopoulos says he regrets.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons on Monday said Papadopoulos arrived at a minimum-security prison in Wisconsin.
A federal judge threw out Papadopoulos’ last-ditch effort to delay his sentence on Sunday after lawyers for the special counsel’s office argued that through his tweets, he “made a variety of public statements that appear to be inconsistent with his stated acceptance of responsibility at sentencing.”
That may include Papadopoulos’ charge that the mysterious professor Joseph Mifsud is “western intelligence” sent to “entrap” him.
