An early advisor to President Donald Trump's campaign has pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents, according to court filings released Monday.

The U.S. alleges that George Papadopoulos made contact with foreign nationals tied to the Russian government and subsequently lied to federal agents about those meetings.

Papadopoulos was arrested on July 27 and entered a plea deal on Oct. 5. (выделено мною)

According to the documents, Papadopoulos met with a female Russian national in March 2016. This woman was allegedly introduced to Papadopoulos, then foreign policy advisor for the Trump campaign, as a relative of Russian President Vladimir Putin with ties to senior Kremlin officials.

The filings also say that Papadopoulos is cooperating with the U.S. government in its ongoing investigation of Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.

Не "не заметили", а просто не знали. Представляешь, СМИ не знали! Ни байта не просочилось в прессу!

Да, это крайне интересно. Парень pro-actively cooperates и, естественно, чем меньше шума в такой кооперации, тем богаче результаты. :)
