Sam Patten, a veteran Republican lobbyist accused of illegally funneling foreign money into the Trump inaugural fund, is seeking no jail time after pleading guilty last year to foreign lobbying violations in a case referred to federal prosecutors by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a new
Patten, 47, pleaded guilty in August for acting as an"agent of a foreign principal … without registering under the Department of Justice's Foreign Agent Registration Act,” related to his work on behalf of a Ukrainian political party.
"In Mr. Patten’s mind, these were tickets to a post-election party and not an attempt to influence an election or politician," Patten's lawyers wrote."More importantly, he was blinded by a desire to accommodate his client." "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.
