Special Counsel Robert Mueller is seeking a September sentencing for former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, according to a Politico report.

In a court filing obtained by Politico, Mueller asked U.S. District Court Judge Randy Moss to set Papadopoulos’ sentencing for early September. Papadopoulos faces up to five years of prison after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI about his interactions with foreign officials close to Russia.

Once Papadopoulos is sentenced, he can no longer be compelled to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation into whether Trump campaign officials colluded with Russia, which signals the counsel’s office may not need him to serve as a potential witness.

The news of a potential sentencing date for Papadopoulos comes on the heels of his wife’s appearance on Fox News begging the president to pardon him. The president has a track record of using pardons as apparent signals to communicate that his associates don’t necessarily need to cooperate with Mueller because they’ll be taken care of through Trump’s pardoning power.
