Papadopoulos was jailed last year after pleading guilty — as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election — to lying to federal investigations about his contacts with Russian-linked officials during the 2016 campaign.

He was released from prison after serving 12 days behind bars, but he is still serving a 12-month sentence of supervised release.
