Lobbyist gets probation in case spun off from Mueller investigation
1 / 5Greg Craig laughs as he arrives ahead of his arraignment at federal court in Washington on Friday April 12, 2019.
In Patten's case, he pleaded guilty to violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act for lobbying on behalf of the Opposition Bloc, a Ukrainian political party. He also admitted to orchestrating a $50,000 straw-donor scheme to purchase tickets from the inaugural committee on behalf of a wealthy Ukrainian client. Federal law bars such committees from accepting foreign donations, a fact Patten has admitted he knew when he violated the law.
But she credited him for cooperating with the government and for taking responsibility for his actions, something the judge said"doesn't happen every day in this courtroom."
