A federal judge has ordered former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos to report to prison as scheduled, rejecting his last-minute bid to delay his two-week sentence. Papadopoulos is to begin serving his sentence today (Monday) in a federal prison in Wisconsin. Federal prosecutors say Papadopoulos was sentenced in September for lying to the F-B-I in the Russia investigation. He had sought a postponement of his prison term until an appeals court had ruled in a separate case challenging the constitutionality of special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment. But in a 13-page opinion issued Sunday, U-S District Court Judge Randolph Moss said Papadopoulos had waited too long to contest his sentence. Moss noted that Papadopoulos had agreed not to appeal in most circumstances as part of his plea agreement and the judge said the challenge to Mueller’s appointment was unlikely to be successful in the U-S Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Four different federal judges have upheld Mueller’s appointment as proper.
