George Papadopoulos, a former adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign who later plead guilty to lying to the FBI, said he couldn’t recall telling anyone on the campaign about information he received from a Maltese academic about Russia having thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails.
“I don’t remember if I told anyone,” Papadopoulos said in an interview shown Friday on CNN. He did say that he “blurted out” the Clinton tip to Greek officials on a visit to Greece. That was shortly before Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Greece.
