NEW: Sam Patten, a Republican lobbyist accused of illegally funneling foreign money into the Trump inaugural fund, is seeking no jail time after pleading guilty to foreign lobbying violations in a case referred to federal prosecutors by Mueller.
On Monday, Patten's lawyers wrote in a sentencing memo submitted on Monday that their client "simply did not think long enough or clearly enough about the significance of his decision at the time he made it."
Patten's lawyers asked for a sentence of probation to including community service, instead of the maximum of five years of imprisonment and $250,000 fine Patten could face. "Through it all, even in the face of media reporting that has falsely labeled Mr. Patten a lobbyist, or a Manafort's 'associate,' or a Trump-supporter, as well as the personal attacks and death threats he has received, Mr. Patten has quietly and without fanfare or attention, worked to improve himself and to make sure he understands what led him to act in a manner inconsistent with his own principles and character," his lawyers wrote.
