Igor Fruman, a former associate and close ally of Rudy Giuliani, has been sentenced to a year in prison in a case involving illegal campaign contributions from a foreign national.
Fruman was charged with Lev Parnas, another foreign-born Trump donor, who also promoted unsubstantiated corruption accusations against the Bidens before the election.
Prosecutors have not brought forward any charges in connection with the Ukrainian influence campaign, according to AP.Fruman also admitted to soliciting campaign contributions from a foreign national as part of a bid to get recreational marijuana business licenses for a cannabis business, which ultimately failed.
Prosecutors in New York sought between three and four years in prison for the Giuliani ally, while defense lawyers said he should not face face jail time because he has been otherwise law-abiding, per AP.
