| Geo Papadopoulos Told Congress That FBI Asked Him To Spy On Mystery Prof At Center of Collusion Probe |
| 2019-01-17 |
| Had he agreed to the [Daily Caller] Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos told Congress in October that an FBI agent asked him to travel to London to spy on a mysterious Maltese professor who allegedly claimed that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton. "The FBI agent said, we need you to wear a wire and we’ll pay you and you can go to London and you can kind of look behind the scenes of an FBI operation. It was very bizarre, very strange," Papadopoulos told members of the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees in an interview on Oct. 25. The request was allegedly made during a meeting in Chicago on Jan. 31, 2017, four days after Papadopoulos was first interviewed by the FBI about his tenure on the Trump campaign. In that first interview, Papadopoulos told FBI agents about encounters he had with the professor, Joseph Mifsud, during his time on the Trump campaign. Papadopoulos told FBI agents in his initial interview that Mifsud told him during a meeting in London on April 26, 2016 that Russia had "thousands" of former presidential candidate Clinton’s emails. Though Papadopoulos shared that detail with the agents, he later admitted making false statements about the extent and full timeline of his contacts with Mifsud. A bit foggy about the extent of your contacts, dates, etc? Sorry, we call that lying and deception George. It's federal charges for you. Skipping to closing para: Halper paid Papadopoulos $3,000 to fly to London in mid-September 2016 and to write a policy paper about Mediterranean energy issues. Unknown to Papadopoulos at the time, Halper had also been in contact with Carter Page, another Trump campaign adviser. Carter Page? Yes, unlike you George, one of our more cooperative recruitments. |

| #2 Prof Mifsud still in hiding? Any MSM tried to find him? Thought not. |

| #1 He said that the request was “extremely problematic” because he now believes that Mifsud may have been working for Western intelligence agencies instead of Russia. Or he could have been working for both, and that is why we asked you to assist us George. |
