Transcript of George Papadopoulos' private testimony released

 

The transcript of George Papadopoulos’ private testimony to a joint congressional task force investigating potential bias in the Justice Department and the FBI was released Tuesday. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., the ranking member of the committee, took to the House floor to put the 239-page transcript in the record.

 

"Over the past few weeks, I have released the transcripts of Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr, and Lisa Page from the Judiciary Committee’s investigation into apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and DOJ," Collins said. "I have said I would make additional transcripts from the investigation public, and I am here today to keep that promise … so the American people can review the transcript of George Papadopoulos. The American people deserve to know the origins of the probe against President Trump’s campaign.” As part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI related to meetings and conversations with Russian officials in 2016 and in December spent nearly two weeks in prison.

 

The transcript of his October interview with the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees shows Papadopoulos explained how he was swept up in the DOJ and FBI investigation into then-candidate Trump. “I guess blissfully, ignorant, of, you know, like I said, the U.S.-Russia relationship and kind of maybe a little too ambitious at the time," Papadopoulos said about his foreign contacts. “I was a complete wannabe when it came to the U.S.-Russia relationship,” he added.

 

Papadopoulos said he met Joseph Mifsud, alleged to have connections to high-ranking Russian officials, around March 14, 2016, telling the committee that his position on Trump’s campaign wasn’t yet public. “He took a liking to me immediately once he knew that I would be working on the Trump campaign,” Papadopoulos said of Mifsud. Trump announced that Papadopoulos was on his foreign policy advisory board on March 21, 2016, saying: "He’s an oil and energy consultant. Excellent guy.” On March 24, 2016, Mifsud introduced Papadopoulos to Olga Polonskaya — a woman who Papadopoulos said Mifsud told him was a family member of a “high level Russian diplomat” and perhaps “Putin's niece or the Russian President's niece.” Papadopoulos joined Trump and other new members of Trump’s foreign policy team for a “National Security Meeting” held at the Trump Hotel on March 31, 2016. Papadopoulos said this is the one and only time that he met Trump. He told the committee: “I was never paid on the Trump campaign.”
