One of President Trump's former advisers from his presidential campaign has pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents investigating allegations of collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Monday .
George Papadopolous, the 30-year-old foreign policy adviser, pleaded guilty earlier this month, according to court filings unsealed on Monday. The DOJ unsealed the documents shortly after it announced charges against two other higher-ranking, Trump campaign officials — Paul Manafort and Rick Gates.
Prosecutors charged Papadopolous with lying to investigators about his conversations with a foreign professor who told him that Russians had thousands of emails containing "dirt" on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
The Trump aide allegedly told the FBI that those conversations happened before he joined the campaign, statements rebutted by the Justice Department's timeline.

This is all fake. The “crimes” are regarding how they are dealing with the witch hunt. It’or s like the Trump admin doesn’t even control the DOJ...
The FBI lies like fish these days, making their inquiry for truth more akin to the Spanish inquisition than American Justice.
Let’s see them question the former head of the FBI Robert Mueller about his involvement with the treasonous transfer of American uranium to Russia with the same fervor.
Or is justice only for the politically disfavored?
When talking to law enforcement always have a lawyer and take inspiration from these two actors. Harpo Marx ( without the animation ) and Silent Bob.
Well there is arrogance and poor judgment then there are things called subpoenas to testify before grand juries.
Regardless...this is a Federal Case? It appears to be a lot of cr**.
Now...tell me who unmasked him and when and ordered by whom?
“When are folks going to learn to use Hillary’s time tested response: “I do not remember”????”
Also, preface every statement with, “to the best of my recollection.”
there’s Mueller’s mole
Whoa. If this guy is charged, then Hill better watch out!
I do not remember does not carry as much weight if you do not also the condolences to his widow over his untimely future suicide.
never forget that the FBI never records their interrogations, does not allow the victim to take notes, the only record of what is said is hand written by one of the FBI agents helping out the interrogation.
Beria couldn‘t set it up better
How about Manafort vs Soros and his”ownership of Ukraine”.
They can force you to show up, but they can't force you to talk if you claim the 5th amendment.
That's series.
LOL! Nothing illegal about the meetings he had, but FBI charges him with lying about them? And that reflects badly on Trump HOW? They are REALLY grasping at straws. What’s next -— one of Trump’s former campaign workers lies about his own weight on his driver’s license?
Yup. That’s the one.
If you are Hillary you can lie all day to the FBI, and the FBI Director will cover it.
What about Biden’s kid, who is on the board of one of the largest Ukrainian Gas Companies.
Why do people go on the view? okra wimpfree? ellen degenetate? etc, etc, etc.............
