The FBI is in possession of a transcript that may be a “game-changer,” even for Americans who “hate” President Donald Trump, according to former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.).

Gowdy told Fox News on May 19 that the bureau has a record of a conversation between former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and an informant sent to target him. While several transcripts exist, one, in particular, “has the potential to actually persuade people,” Gowdy said, adding that the transcript includes exculpatory evidence that the FBI didn’t provide to a court.
