Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos said Tuesday that his lawyers have asked for a pardon from President Trump.
“My lawyers have applied for a pardon from the president for me,†Papadopoulos said in an interview with Reuters, adding that the request was made a few days ago.
“If I’m offered one I would love to accept it, of course,†he told the outlet.
The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
Papadopoulos served 12 days of a two-week prison sentence last year for lying to FBI agents about his contact with individuals linked to Russia during the 2016 campaign.
