George Papadopoulos, once a campaign adviser to Donald Trump, is hinting that he was a target of an intelligence operation that put him at the center of an FBI investigation.
In a series of tweets late on Sept. 10, Papadopoulos detailed his suspicions about a meeting with Alexander Downer—then-Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom—that occurred several months before the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He expressed a belief that Downer was sent to the meeting by somebody, perhaps British intelligence.
