Papadopoulos said he would be telling members of two congressional panels he's set to meet with on Thursday that he was targeted by western intelligence agencies. The former aide did not spell out which intelligence agencies he believed had set him up, or whether they were American.
"What I'm going to really detail are the names of the individuals who I believe targeted me at the behest of western intelligence that perhaps were masquerading as Russian operatives," Papadopoulos told Sexton.
"I have never really gone public and named the people, and what the specific with these individuals were about," he said. "Some parts of my story are definitely public, other parts are still very private."
Papadopoulos is testifying before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees on Thursday. Republicans on both committees have accused the FBI of bias in its investigation of President Trump’s campaign and Russia, and are likely to seize on the closed-door testimony in their probe.
