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.
