A protester holds a banner as former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos arrives for his sentencing hearing in Washington. In addition to the prison time, Papadopoulos was sentenced to one year of supervised release and 200 hours of community service. "I hope to have a second chance to redeem myself," Papadopoulos told the judge. "The president of the United States hindered this investigation more than George Papadopoulos ever could," Breen told the judge. At that meeting, Papadopoulos proposed brokering a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
