“Prosecutors working for special counsel Robert Mueller asked a federal judge to order George Papadopoulos, a former campaign adviser to President Trump, to start serving time in prison on Monday as scheduled,” the Washington Post reports.
“Papadopoulos’s lawyers had asked U.S. District Court Judge Randolph Moss to allow Papadopoulos to delay his two-week prison sentence while an constitutional challenge to Mueller’s appointment filed in a separate case in Washington is resolved.”
“But Mueller’s team responded that Papadopoulos waived his rights to appeal when he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and that he had failed to file his request in a timely fashion.”
