George Papadopoulos: Trump campaign agreed to meeting with RussiansImplicated in the latest twist are former adviser George Papadopoulos and USDA chief scientist nominee Sam Clovis
MATTHEW ROZSA 11.01.20177:07 AM
Yet another small step has been taken toward demonstrating either real or attempted collusion between Russian government officials and President Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign.
George Papadopoulos a former Trump adviser who was described as important to their campaign prior to the announcement of his guilty plea earlier this week wrote an email one week before the Republican National Convention in which he said that his side had "approved" trying to set up a pre-election meeting with Russian officials and "my national chairman and maybe one other foreign policy adviser," according to Bloomberg.
The email was discovered during the three months in which Papadopoulos cooperated with investigators in building their case against specific members of Trump's campaign and/or administration.
Papadopoulos' supervisor was Sam Clovis, the Trump campaign's national co-chairman and Trump's current nominee to be chief scientist at the United States Department of Agriculture.

My husband and I are big fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of the Opera." Since George Papadopoulos became a household name this week, every time his name comes up, that's how we respond.
"SING! SING, my angel of music!"
