Papadopoulos was released earlier this month after serving 12 days in prison for lying to FBI agents, and he announced an intention to run for Congress in 2020, but Atlantic reporter Natasha Bertrand described a letter she obtained that may have launched a fresh look at his activity shortly after the 2016 election.
This was written by a former confidant of George Papadopoulos who has come forward to the House Intelligence Committee and to the FBI, Bertrand told MSNBC, to say she has information about his alleged interactions after the election that may have had ties to Russian officials and he was trying to do some big business deal that would, quote-unquote, set himself up for life.
