George Papadopoulos on the Trump campaign and being a target of the Mueller probe (4/16/19)

On Sept. 7, George Papadopoulos became the first Donald Trump adviser to be sentenced in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 election, as reported by the New York Times. A member of the foreign policy advisory panel for the President’s 2016 campaign, Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in jail for lying to the F.B.I. In his new book “Deep State Target: How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump,” Papadopoulos asserts that he was merely a casualty of a government conspiracy to bring down a President determined to buck the establishment at every turn. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, George Papadopoulos talks about his experiences working for the Trump campaign and what it was like to be at the center of the Mueller probe.
