The wife of former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty last year of lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian government, beseeched the president during a Fox News appearance on Monday night to pardon her husband. When asked by Fox News host Tucker Carlson whether she thought Papadopoulos was going to prison, Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos said that her husband had been a “dedicated and committed” member of President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign who’d done an “excellent job.”“Because of this incident, his freedom is challenged, so I trust and hope and ask that President Trump will pardon him,” she said.
