“The Court, accordingly, concludes that Papadopoulos has failed to carry his burden of demonstrating that the Court should continue his current bail status,” Moss wrote.

Chris LaVigne, an attorney for Papadopoulos, said in a statement that the decision was “an unfortunate result in an inequitable case.”

LaVigne noted that at Papadopoulos’s sentencing, Moss had said that he had no reason to conclude that Papadopoulos had sought to aid Russia or hurt the United States. Nevertheless, La­Vigne said Papadopoulos had determined “for practical reasons” not to appeal Sunday’s ruling or move to overturn his plea.

“Given the immense power of the Special Counsel’s Office and the costs to Mr. Papadopoulos of continuing to fight, he will serve his sentence tomorrow, and hopes to move on with his life,” LaVigne said.

Papadopoulos retweeted a comment from Tom Fitton, president of the conservative group Judicial Watch, who called the judge’s ruling “no surprise” and added, “And no surprise much of our corrupted media and Congress ignore strong evidence that he was set up as part of illicit Obama administration effort to spy on and destroy @realDonaldTrump. Shut it down.”

Papadopoulos also reacted to a tweet from his wife, Simona, who said of her husband: “You don’t deserve to go to jail but you will come out stronger. The world will judge ultimately. Love u.”

“This is why I will always be the luckiest guy in the world,” Papadopoulos wrote.

Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about Russia contacts during the 2016 presidential campaign. But in recent weeks, Papadopoulos has hired a new legal team and complained publicly that he was framed by intelligence agencies looking to smear Trump’s campaign.

Late last week, his new lawyers asked Moss to allow Papadopoulos to delay the start of his prison term until a constitutional challenge to the appointment of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is resolved in Washington. Mueller is investigating whether anyone in Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia to influence the election’s outcome.

Moss resoundingly rejected what he termed the “11th hour” request, writing in a 13-page ruling that even if the challenge to Mueller’s appointment was successful — and he doubted it would be — it would be unlikely to give Papadopoulos cause to undo his conviction.

Mueller’s prosecutors had opposed the delay, arguing Papadopoulos had waived his right to challenge Mueller’s appointment when he agreed to plead guilty. Papadopoulos’s recent public comments, they argued, contradicted impassioned courtroom remarks that Papadopoulos offered in September, when he persuaded Moss to shave time from his sentence by telling the judge that he was remorseful about his lies.

As part of his plea, Papadopoulos agreed he was dishonest with the FBI regarding key details of his interactions with a London-based professor who told him in April 2016 that the Russians had damaging information about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in the form of thousands of emails.

The professor then introduced Papadopoulos to two Russian nationals, and the young campaign adviser sought for months to have Trump or his staff meet with Russian counterparts.

Two federal judges at the district court level have ruled Mueller’s investigation is constitutional. A higher-level three-judge appeals court panel heard arguments earlier this month in another case that was brought by a former aide to Trump confidant Roger Stone who has defied a subpoena to testify before Mueller’s grand jury. It is not clear when the panel will rule in the case, which may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.
