George Papadopoulos, the man the con artist has called an insignificant part of his campaign, a young, low-level volunteer and nothing more than a coffee boy, is being defended by his fiancee who says George did nothing without the express permission and consent of campaign aides.
Mangiante said Papadopoulos "set up meetings with leaders all over the world” for senior campaign officials. He was “constantly in touch with high-level officials in the campaign,” she added. That included direct communication with now-former senior Trump advisers Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn, Mangiante said, adding that she had seen correspondence supporting the assertion.
“He never took any initiative, as far as I know, [that was] unauthorized. All the initiatives had [the] blessing of the campaign,” she said.
As a foreign policy adviser, Papadopoulos made numerous attempts to connect the Trump campaign with senior officials in the Russian government.
Court documents show Papadopoulos emailed campaign officials in March 2016 about setting up a meeting in Moscow "between us (the Trump campaign) and the Russian leadership to discuss US-Russia ties under President Trump."
A campaign supervisor, who was not named in the court documents but is now identified as Clovis, responded by saying "great work."
"I would encourage you" to "make the trip, if it is feasible," he later wrote.
Mangiante said the campaign's deputy communications director, Bryan Lanza, who is now a CNN contributor, signed off on Papadopoulos doing an interview with the Russian news agency Interfax. Lanza declined to comment.
"His contributions to the campaign has been much more relevant than bringing coffee," she said. "I think they wanted to disassociate from the first person who decided to actively cooperate with the government, on the right side. And probably the easiest way out is to dismiss his personality and lower him to a low-level volunteer."
