Mueller opposes Papadopoulos's push to delay prison time, notes 'inconsistent' tweets

Special counsel Robert Mueller's team of lawyers on Wednesday opposed an effort from former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos to delay his prison term.

Mueller's team pointed to the one-time foreign policy adviser's tweets and other public statements that they said have been "inconsistent" with his remarks during his sentencing.

Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in prison in September after pleading guilty to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russia-linked individuals.

Despite cooperating with Mueller's investigation and expressing remorse at his sentencing, Papadopoulos has since suggested publicly that his prosecution was a result of "entrapment" by western intelligence agencies and at one point last month said he was considering withdrawing from his plea agreement with the special counsel.

Trump should heed this warning: Anything you Tweet can and probably will be used against you.
