Special counsel urges judge to order former Trump campaign aide to prison Monday as scheduled
By Rosalind S. Helderman November 21 at 12:23 PM
Prosecutors working for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III asked a federal judge Wednesday to order George Papadopoulos, a former campaign adviser to President Trump, to start serving time in prison on Monday as scheduled.
Papadopoulos’s lawyers had asked U.S. District Court Judge Randolph D. 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.
In the more than a year since Papadapoulos was first charged by Mueller’s office, he has never challenged the constitutionality of the special counsel’s appointment. Papadopoulos’s motion citing the D.C. case was made just days before the scheduled start to his brief prison stay.
