\nA federal judge ordered former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos to report to prison on Monday, rejecting his bid to delay the sentence while the special counsel\u2019s investigation is being challenged, according to a report on Sunday.
His lawyers argued that he should be able to remain free on bail because the challenge on constitutional grounds to Robert Mueller\u2019s Russia probe would result in his conviction being set aside.
But US District Judge Randolph Moss ruled on Sunday that Papadopolous did not appeal his conviction because he waived his right when he pleaded guilty, the Washington Post reported.
Moss also said the challenge of Mueller\u2019s investigation as unlawful in a separate case would likely succeed.
\u201cThe court, accordingly, concludes that Papadopoulos has failed to carry his burden of demonstrating that the court should continue his current bail status,\u201d the judge wrote.
Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in federal prison in September after admitting to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russians during the 2016 campaign.
He didn\u2019t come clean about his meetings with a London-based professor who told him in April 2016 that the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton .<\/p>\n
