  • George Papadopoulos’s fiancee says he knows a lot more than we realize

        George Papadopoulos, former national security adviser to the Trump campaign     turned witness for the FBI investigation into possible collusion between     Russia and the campaign, is more than a bit player in Robert Mueller’s     investigation, according to his fiancee, Simona Mangiante. Mangiante     compared the Chicagoan to former White House counsel John Dean, who pleaded     guilty to his role in Watergate scandal and became a witness in the case.     “There’s a lot to come,” she said. “He was the first one to break a hole on     all of this.” [Washington Post]
