Alex van der Zwaan, a Dutch lawyer, was sentenced to 30 days in prison on Tuesday and ordered to pay a $20,000 fine for lying to investigators about his communications with former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and a Ukrainian businessman tied to Russian intelligence about work he performed in 2012.
Van der Zwaan is the first person to receive prison time in the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. His charges are not related to the 2016 election.
