Third Ron Paul Aide to Be Sentenced for Campaign Violations
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DES MOINES, Iowa — Sep 21, 2016, 3:16 AM ET
The third top official of Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in Des Moines for conspiring to cover up campaign payments to a former Iowa state senator.
Deputy campaign manager Dimitri Kesari was convicted of conspiracy and three charges related to false campaign reporting, the same charges for which a jury convicted the campaign's chairman Jesse Benton and its manager John Tate.
Benton and Tate were sentenced Tuesday to two years' probation and six months of home confinement.
Kesari's hearing is set for Wednesday morning.
