Ex-Trump staffer claimed campaign approved meeting between campaign staff and Russian officials: report
Former Trump campaign staffer George Papadopoulos claimed in an email to a Russian contact that the campaign had approved a meeting between campaign officials and representatives of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday.
Papadopoulos sent an email to the Russian contact a week before the Republican National Convention, saying a meeting between campaign staffers and Russian officials “has been approved by our side,” according to Bloomberg.
He reportedly suggested in the email that the meeting take place in August or September in the United Kingdom and that “my national chairman and maybe one other foreign policy adviser” would attend.
However, it’s unclear if Papadopoulos had actually gotten approval from the campaign to hold such a meeting.
