The former Trump campaign adviser whose actions helped spark the federal probe into Russian election meddling and admitted to misleading FBI agents is considering withdrawing his guilty plea.
George Papadopoulos told Fox & Friends on Friday he learned new information from congressional investigators that he cant publicly disclose that has led him to rethink his agreement with prosecutors on special counsel Robert Muellers team.
I believe there was tremendous misconduct on the government's behalf regarding my case, Papadopoulos told Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade. And given certain information I learned just yesterday that I cant publicly disclose right now, Im actually even considering withdrawing my agreement I have come to with the government.

new information from congressional investigators - but can't talk about it....
And given certain information I learned just yesterday that I cant publicly disclose right now, Im actually even considering withdrawing my agreement I have come to with the government.
At time of sentencing hearing..pap said....
I made a terrible mistake for which I paid dearly, Papadopoulos said in court on Friday, before his sentence was handed down. I was not honest, and I may have hindered the investigation.

You can't just change your mind after you are sentenced.
