The focus of the questions put to Clovis by Mueller's team has not been previously reported. According to court documents related to Papadopoulos' guilty plea, he reported to Clovis in an email on a March 24, 2016, meeting he had in London with a professor later identified as Joseph Mifsud. The documents showed Clovis responded to the proposed meetings by saying he would 'work it through the campaign.' While he told Papadopoulos not to make a commitment then to set up those meetings, he congratulated him for 'great work.' After Papadopoulos' guilty plea, the White House and former Trump campaign officials dismissed Papadopoulos and Clovis as minor figures in the campaign.
