CNN: Ex-Trump Foreign Policy Advisor Pleads Guilty to Lying to the FBI

‘We learned that someone else, that would mean a third person, has already pleaded guilty to something connected with this’

EXCERPT:

PEREZ: "Well, John, now we have information on George Papadopolous who, according to the documents that were just released by the Special Counsel's office, pleaded guilty back on October 3rd to lying to the FBI. The importance of this is now we have the first indictment from Mueller that has some connection to the 2016 presidential campaign. George Papadopolous admits now to the F.B.I. that he lied when he was first asked about his contacts with people in Russia, with people who are close to the Russian government. In particular, there was some conversations back in March of 2016 shortly after he had joined the Trump campaign and he was in contact with a professor from Russia who according to the FBI has close ties with the Russian government. And according to this information that he now admits, he says that this meeting was about promises from the Russian government to possessing dirt on Hillary Clinton, in particular about thousands of e-mails that they said they had."
