Trump plugged a book by George Papadopoulos — the former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser who triggered the FBI’s investigation into potential coordination between the campaign and Russia
in October 2017 after cooperating with former special counsel Robert Mueller’s office.
According to Mueller’s report, a foreign government official contacted the FBI in July 2016 about an encounter he had shared with Papadopoulos two months earlier, in which the Trump aide suggested the campaign “had received indications from the Russian government that it could assist the Campaign through the anonymous release of information damaging to” Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.
That warning “prompted the FBI on July 31, 2016, to open an investigation into whether individuals associated with the Trump Campaign were coordinating with the Russian government in its interference activities,” Mueller wrote.that Papadopoulos had revealed to an Australian diplomat details of his April 2016 conversations with Josef Mifsud, a London-based professor with ties to the Kremlin who allegedly told Papadopoulos that Moscow had “thousands of emails” damaging to Clinton.
Papadopoulos’ book, “Deep State Target: How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump,” was released in March.
