A former foreign policy adviser for the Trump campaign pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents as they questioned him about his connections to Russian government officials, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Monday.
The charges against George Papadopoulos were unsealed Monday after Robert Mueller’s special counsel team announced indictments against two other figures in the Trump campaign — former Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort and his former associate, Richard Gates.
According to the charges, which were originally filed in July, Mr. Papadopoulos made false statements to the FBI about his interactions and relationships with Russian officials when he was interviewed in January.
