WASHINGTON ― A foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trumps presidential campaign has pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to FBI agents.
George Papadopoulos, 30, pleaded guilty on Oct. 5, 2017, but the case wasnt unsealed until Monday, when two other Trump associates were indicted by a federal grand jury. Papadopoulos reached a plea deal with prosecutors, and has since been cooperating with special counsel Robert Muellers probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Prosecutors statement of the offense alleges Papadopoulos made material false statements and material omissions during a Jan. 27, 2017, interview with the FBI. He was arrested July 27. Prosecutors agreed to recommend between no prison time to six months under the plea agreement.
Papadopoulos told the FBI an overseas professor had told him about the Russians possessing dirt on then-candidate Hillary Clinton in the form of thousands of emails, but stated multiple times that he learned that information prior to joining the campaign, according to court documents. In fact, Papadopoulos was contacted after he learned hed be joining the campaign, and the professor only mentioned the thousands of emails after hed been on the Trump campaign for more than a month.
