TPM "WaPo: FBI Informant Is Ex-Professor Who Met With Three Trump Campaign Aides"
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/fbi-informant-retired-professor-met-three-trump-campaign-aidesThe unnamed FBI source that President Donald Trump hopes to hunt down reportedly met with another Trump campaign adviser as a government informant in 2016.
The Washington Post reported Friday that in addition to Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos, which the New York Times first reported Wednesday, the FBI informant also met with campaign co-chairman Sam Clovis.
