Lobbyist who steered foreign money to President Trump's inauguration asks for no jail time after cooperating with the Mueller investigation
Patten's case, and how it related to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, has been full of intrigue but short on details. Many of the filings in the case are still under seal, leading many to speculate that Patten might be a marquee cooperator. Patten's lawyers wrote Monday that he was a valuable asset for the Mueller investigation and other federal prosecutors.
Patten previously admitted funneling money from a Russia-friendly oligarch to the Trump inauguration, and that he lied about it to Congress. But Patten's lawyers said Monday that his actions were not intended to"cover up" foreign interference in the US election.
