https://www.theepochtimes.com/exclusive-in-closed-door-testimony-papadopoulos-identified-alleged-spy-in-trump-campaign_2766153.html

During a closed-door interview with Congressional lawmakers in Washington, George Papadopoulos, the former foreign policy advisor to the Donald Trump presidential campaign, revealed the name the man he believes was a spy working on the campaign, according to a transcript of the testimony reviewed by The Epoch Times.

 

During a day-long session with lawmakers on the House judiciary and oversight committees on October 25 last year, Papadopoulos, under penalty of perjury, detailed a series of what he described as “strange” interactions with a member of the Trump campaign. The timing and content of that person’s communications led Papadopoulos to have suspicions that he was covertly working on behalf of U.S. intelligence.

 

Papadopoulos previously hinted in public statements and interviews that he knew of a spy in the Trump campaign, but never revealed the name. Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson has also said the FBI had a “human source” inside the campaign.

 

Asked about the person who Papadopoulos alleged is a spy, another former Trump campaign member told The Epoch Times that he has no suspicions about the man in question. The Epoch Times was unable to verify the allegation made by Papadopoulos and is withholding the name he provided to Congress. In this article, we refer to him as Person A.

 

“My interactions with [Person A] were quite strange. You know, he would call me on private numbers and kind of ask me where I’m sitting or where I’m living at the moment,” Papadopoulos said.

 

Asked on Jan. 16, 2019, by this reporter if he is still suspicious about the person, Papadopoulos said he is “definitely suspicious of him.”

 

The alleged spy began contacting Papadopoulos around the time Papadopoulos met with the foreign minister of Greece in May 2016. Though he is not named in the testimony, Nikos Kotzias was Greece’s minister for foreign affairs at the time. The meeting with Kotzias was significant because Papadopoulos claims it was the only time he told anyone directly that Russia was in possession of thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails, a rumor he learned from Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud.

I read something a couple weeks ago that gave us the name of the person that Papa is referring to, but it was a name that is not well known. Can’t recall it offhand, but it should be out there if one wants to search.
