Former Trump campaign adviser GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS has pleaded guilty to a charge of making false statements to FBI agents. 
Unlike the charges against Manafort, the government's case against Papadopolous does make reference to Trump's presidential campaign.
Papadopolous was charged July 28. The case was unsealed today.
Note that Papadopolous was charged by complaint, waived indictment and pleaded guilty. This isn't someone who was fighting with Mueller.
This seems to be the closest today's charges come to "collusion." Papadopolous was offered "dirt" by a person tied to Russia's gov't.
While working on the campaign, Papadopolous met with a man offering "dirt" on HRC, accompanied by a woman he believed to be Putin's niece.
Mueller's office said in a court filing that Trump aide George Papadopolous "indicated that he is willing to cooperate with the government."
This is significant. Papadopolous agreed to cooperate with Mueller in July, and Mueller didn't want his cooperation known.
Which raises the question of who Papadopolous talked to *after* he was arrested. Those people likely are not having a nice morning.
