Former Nebraska congressman Jeff Fortenberry was sentenced to two years probation in Los Angeles Tuesday morning for lying to federal authorities about an illegal, foreign campaign donation.

Fortenberry, who has represented Nebraska's 1st District since 2005, was convicted by a jury in March of concealing information and repeatedly lying to federal authorities in a campaign finance inquiry. He resigned days after the conviction.
