(Jenny Starrs/The Washington Post)Trump officials have tried to cast George Papadopoulos as a low-level figure on the President Trump's 2016 campaign, but documents from the time show extensive contact with top campaign officials. Shortly after joining the campaign, Papadopoulos was rebuked by campaign officials for giving an unauthorized interview to a British newspaper, The Post previously reported. In May, Papadopoulos forwarded to campaign officials a note he received from Timofeev informing him that Russian Foreign Ministry officials were open to a Trump visit. She said she sent messages to each person on a list of Trump foreign policy advisers.
