date pushed back to May 16 to give the defendants time to review the excess of more than 100,000 documents accrued by the prosecution. On June 21, 2016, Fattah was convicted of all charges, including racketeering conspiracy, bribery, bank fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, making false statements to a financial institution, and falsification of records. Initially, he stated he would not leave office until October when he was due to be sentenced, but subsequently announced his immediate resignation from Congress two days later on June 23. Just days later, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in McDonnell v. United States which altered the legal definition of bribery to exclude "pay for access". On the basis of this ruling, Fattah appealed his conviction in October 2016, placing his sentencing on hold. On December 12, 2016, Fattah was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He reported for prison at Federal Correctional Institution, McKean near Lewis Run, Pennsylvania on January 25, 2017. On August 9, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia overturned Fattah's bribery convictions. The Court of Appeals remanded for a new trial as to certain bribery and money laundering counts, concluding that the jury had not been properly instructed regarding "official acts" in a bribery context. (The government thereafter announced its intention not to retry those counts.) With regard to the government's cross-appeal, the Court of Appeals reinstated certain counts that had been dismissed by the District Court post-trial. The case was then remanded for resentencing. For these additional counts, Fattah was again sentenced to 10 years of incarceration on July 12, 2019. Fattah was released from prison on June 8, 2020.
