"Weeks before the 2016 presidential election, the FBI relied on a friend of George Papadopoulos to secretly record the then-Trump campaign aide during a conversation over lunch and a visit to a casino, according to a 171-page transcript of the secretly recorded conversation obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The transcript shows that Papadopoulos repeatedly denied that the Trump campaign was working with Russia to hack and release emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign.
He also dismissed allegations circulating at the time that the Russian government was behind the hacks.
“That’s all bullshit,” Papadopoulos told the source after he brought up the topic of Russia’s possible interests in helping the Trump campaign.
The FBI had for three months before the interaction been investigating whether the Trump campaign was conspiring with the Russian government to influence the election. The bureau opened “Crossfire Hurricane,” the code name for the probe, on July 31, 2016 after receiving a tip from the Australian government related to Papadopoulos.
Papadopoulos is referred to as “Crossfire Typhoon” in the FBI transcript, which was declassified on April 1.
The FBI used multiple undercover sources in the investigation, including at least two who met with Papadopoulos. Stefan Halper, a former Cambridge professor, met with and secretly recorded Papadopoulos and Carter Page, another Trump campaign aide, prior to the election.
Halper approached Papadopoulos on Sept. 2, 2016 to invite the young Trump associate to London under the guise of discussing a research project regarding energy issues. During their visit, Halper tried to pry loose information from Papadopoulos related to Russia. Papadopoulos repeatedly denied involvement in Russia’s hacking efforts."
so further proof the FBI attempted to entrap Papadollop?
