EXCLUSIVE: In Closed-Door Testimony, Papadopoulos Identified Alleged Spy in Trump Campaign theepochtimes.com/exclusive-in-c… via @epochtimes
During a day-long session with lawmakers on the House judiciary and oversight committees on October 25 last year, Papadopoulos, under penalty of perjury, detailed a series of what he described as “strange” interactions with a member of the Trump campaign.
The timing and content of that person’s communications led Papadopoulos to have suspicions that he was covertly working on behalf of U.S. intelligence.
Papadopoulos previously hinted in public statements and interviews that he knew of a spy in the Trump campaign, but never revealed the name. Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson has also said the FBI had a “human source” inside the campaign.
“My interactions with [Person A] were quite strange. You know, he would call me on private numbers and kind of ask me where I’m sitting or where I’m living at the moment,” Papadopoulos said.
Asked today if he is still suspicious about the person, Papadopoulos said he is “definitely suspicious of him.”
The alleged spy began contacting Papadopoulos around the time Papadopoulos met with the foreign minister of Greece in May 2016. Though he is not named in the testimony, Nikos Kotzias was Greece’s minister for foreign affairs at the time.
The meeting with Kotzias was significant because Papadopoulos claims it was the only time he told anyone directly that Russia was in possession of thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails, a rumor he learned from Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud.
