Mueller Recommends Prison for Papadopoulos

“Special Counsel Robert Mueller recommended in a court filing on Friday that a judge sentence former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos to up to six months in prison for lying to federal agents investigating whether Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” Reuters reports.

“According to Mueller’s sentencing memorandum to the judge, Papadopoulos lied about his contacts with people who claimed to have ties to top Russian officials, including his meeting with a professor who said Russia had ‘dirt’ on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.”

“Muller also told the judge that Papadopoulos had not fully cooperated with prosecutors.”
