George Papadopoulos falls under new investigation for alleged business ties to Russia — after the 2016 election

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.”

Bertrand and investigative reporter Scott Stedman said investigators want to interview the letter’s author about those claims.

“They want to understand whether or not George Papadopoulos’ ties to Russia are deeper than previously understood,” she said. “Of course, he’s a central figure in the Russian investigation.”
