(Philadelphia) — A former congressional political strategist has been sentenced to a year in federal prison in what authorities said was a scheme to illegally pay a 2012 Pennsylvania primary challenger to drop out of the race.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that 64-year-old Donald Jones, an ex-aide to former Democratic U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, expressed remorse as he was sentenced Monday.
Prosecutors said he and another consultant orchestrated a scheme for an illegal $90,000 donation to another campaign.
His attorney sought no prison time, citing his client’s cooperation.
Brady, who wasn’t charged and said he did nothing wrong, didn’t run for re-election.
