Washington (CNN) Washington political consultant W. Samuel Patten, who helped steer foreign money to President Donald Trump's inauguration, was sentenced to probation without jail time in another criminal case that grew out of Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian and Ukrainian influence in American politics and the 2016 presidential election.

Specifically, he will serve three years probation, pay a $5,000 fine and do 500 hours of "hands on" community service, the judge said.

Patten, 47, who pleaded guilty last August, has contributed to additional, still unknown investigations, highlighting the constellation of cases to grow out of Mueller's work and how some aspects of the Russia probe continue.

As part of his plea deal, Patten admitted to seeking tickets to Trump's inauguration on behalf of a Ukrainian oligarch, according to court documents, and ultimately paid $50,000 for four tickets. Patten used another American as a "straw purchaser," funneling the Ukrainian's money secretly to the inaugural committee through a Cypriot bank account, prosecutors said at his plea.

Presidential inaugural committees are barred from accepting money from foreign nationals -- and CNN has reported that prosecutors continue to investigate finances in the Trump inaugural.
