George Papadopoulos, a onetime foreign policy adviser for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, was sentenced Friday to 14 days in jail for lying to federal agents investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Prosecutors had urged Moss to sentence Papadopoulos to up to six months in jail for lying to federal investigators.
