George Papadapoulos, the former Trump campaign aide who played a key role in the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign for alleged collusion with Russia—allegations which were disproven by the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller—has launched a campaign for the congressional seat set to be vacated by Rep. Katie Hill (D-Calif.).
Hill announced her resignation on Oct. 27 after admitting to having an affair with a campaign aide, who she later paid as a consultant, and amid accusations she had another affair with a congressional aide, which is against House rules. The resignation was announced just days after the House Ethics Committee opened a probe into the allegations.
