George Papadopoulos, a former foreign policy adviser to President Trump’s campaign, pleaded guilty earlier this month to making false statements to the FBI. During the campaign, Papadopoulos reportedly traveled to Israelwhere he took part in an energy conference. Papadopoulos had told investigators that the professor divulged the information prior to his joining the Trump campaign. However, “the professor only took interest in [Papadopolous] because of his status with” the campaign, according to court documents. Prior to joining Trump’s campaign, Papadopoulos was an adviser for Dr. Ben Carson’s own 2016 presidential campaign.
