A two-week prison sentence was the conclusion of the criminal case against the man who allegedly prompted the launch of an FBI investigation into the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016.

George Papadopoulos, once a campaign advisor to Trump, was sentenced to 14 days in prison, a $9,500 fine, and community service, for lying to the FBI. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to the charge almost a year ago but agreed to have his sentencing postponed multiple times.
