EXCLUSIVE: In Closed-Door Testimony, Papadopoulos Identified Alleged Spy in Trump Campaign
By Ivan Pentchoukov

Former Trump campaign adviser also told lawmakers FBI asked him to wear a wire to record Maltese professor in London

George Papadopoulos, the former foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, revealed during a closed-door interview with congressional lawmakers in Washington the name of the man he believes was a spy working within the campaign, according to a transcript of the testimony reviewed by The Epoch Times.

During a day-long session with lawmakers on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees on Oct. 25, 2018, Papadopoulos, under penalty of perjury, detailed a series of what he described as “strange” interactions with a member of the Trump campaign. The timing and content of that person’s communications led Papadopoulos to suspect that the person was covertly working on behalf of U.S. intelligence.

This is a weird article and the most interesting part is buried near the end, since it kind of undercuts his previous assertions of being set up.


During the testimony in Congress, the lawyers for Papadopoulos blocked several questions about the circumstances surrounding his plea deal with Mueller. The lawyers advised Papadopoulos to not answer whether he was the one to agree to pay $10,000 or if his attorneys made the decision. The attorneys also blocked a question about whether Papadopoulos still stands by his guilty plea.

Papadopoulos also was advised not to answer whether the special counsel wanted $10,000 in any form or if the prosecutors requested the specific bills in Greece. The attorneys again intervened when a lawmaker asked if Papadopoulos called Trump’s lawyer, Marc Kasowitz, after being asked to wear a wire.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.
