DUBAI โ€” Israeli businessman Charles Tawil has adamantly rejected claims that he entrapped George Papadopoulos, the first Trump administration official to plead guilty in the Russia investigation, as absurd.

 

Tawil, whose kaleidoscopic business career has spanned Africa, the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, acknowledged giving $10,000 in cash to Papadopoulos on June 8, 2018. But he denied being a spy who bullied Papadopoulos into taking the money in a โ€œterrifyingโ€™โ€™ Tel Aviv hotel room, as Papadopoulos has claimed. In fact, Tawil said that the Trump campaign adviser, who is now pushing to delay serving his 14-day prison sentence, was โ€œdesperateโ€ to keep working with him after the cash transaction that, according to Papadopoulos, ended their relationship.

Tawil spoke to The Times of Israel last week in the glittering Gulf city-state of Dubai, where he had come for a conference hosted by the United Arab Emiratesโ€™ Minister of Tolerance Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, with whom Tawil said he is friendly.
