redouble our efforts to make sure that that kind of thing does not happen in philadelphia and the people that we trust are not going to be violating that public trust. it's a sad day for the congressman, for his family, and for his constituents and philadelphia. >> we know in the next half hour, we'll talk about what the conviction on all charges means when it comes to his sentence, coming up in october. thank you. >> we can tell you the same judge who presided over the congressman's trial is also on the bench when fattah's son was convicted on bank and tax fraud in february. chip is currently serving a five-year sentence at the federal correctional institution in mishchigan, found he took pa in a scheme as a sub contractor to defraud the philadelphia school district and scheduled to be released in june of 2020. coverage of today's forget continues, but there's more on sentencing, his political future, and status as a

years, and he's done many good deeds to help thousands of people with college scholarships and gear up program, and that will all be brought up by the defense, and taking entire person's life and the judge looks at everything and then decides what would be an proempt sentence considering the seriousness of the crime, the amount of money involved, and so on. restitution is part of that. restitution is a mandatory requirement. the judge has to impose that. no matter the amount, he'll assess restitution and what you pay out over a period of time. >> all right. howard, appreciate insight as always. chatting with you again at 5:00 about whether the congressman, in fact, more on the issue of restitution and other questions we may get into with you. we appreciate that. a lot of questions remain about the congressman's political future. he was scheduled to be a super delegate for the upcoming national convention, and we checked with a democratic party to find out if he would lose his super delegate status now
