Ex-Trump staffer at center of Mueller probe sat next to Sessions at campaign dinner: report
The former Trump campaign staffer who pled guilty to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russian officials was in contact with top Trump campaign officials, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
George Papadopoulos was reportedly seated next to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at a dinner weeks ahead of the Republican National Convention. A spokeswoman for Sessions declined to comment to The Post about the report.
Papadopoulos also reportedly bragged to a British official that he was in touch with senior officials in the Russian government, according to The Post.
But the officials at the British Foreign Office apparently determined that Papadopoulos was not a major figure in the Trump campaign and did not stay in touch with him, The Post reported.
