Mysterious Maltese professor denied making offer to Papadopoulos, new docs show

Joseph Mifsud, the mysterious Maltese professor who ex-FBI Director James Comey referred to as a “Russian agent” in an op-ed, denied any advance knowledge that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton and told investigators he never made any offers to George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign strategist, according to newly released FBI documents.

Mifsud, who is considered to be something of an international man of mystery, has studied law and diplomacy in London and Rome and was believed to have had contacts with key Russian officials. He met with Papadopoulos in 2016 at Link Campus University in Rome and then in London.

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the Russia investigation stated that Mifsud was the person who told Papadopoulos in April 2016 that Russians had “dirt” in the form of emails on Hillary Clinton that could damage her chances of becoming president.

Twitter user Techno Fog posted the FBI’s “302” interview summary on Mifsud and pointed out that the 59-year-old professor told investigators he had “no advance knowledge Russia was in possession of emails from the Democratic National Committee and, therefore, did not make any offers or proffer any information” to Papadopoulos.

The documents stated that the pair — who met for coffee in Britain in 2016 while Papadopoulos was transitioning to the Trump campaign — “spoke about cybersecurity and hacking as a larger issue.”

Mifsud is not the most widely recognized name from the Mueller report, but he has been a major focal point of the probe.

There were unproven theories that Mifsud was a Russian asset or even an asset for the CIA investigating the Trump campaign. The Washington Examiner pointed out that Mifsud was never referred to as a Russian agent in the 448-page report nor explicitly called one in the Washington Post op-ed by Comey. The Mueller report only identified him as having connections within Russia. Papadopoulos has said he believed Mifsud was acting as a Western agent to spy.
