Hmmm, why would she say this? Now?Simona Mangiante, the wife of former President Trump campaign official George Papadopolous, reportedly wants her husband to stop cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller, according to MSNBC.
Mangiante told MSNBC on Thursday that she no longer trusts the government and that shady individuals with a specific agenda were targeting her husband.
I trusted these institutions until they proved me wrong, she said, adding there is exculpatory evidence that fully justifies him to drop off his plea agreement.
Papadopolous pleaded guilty in October 2017 to charges of lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials and has been cooperating with Muellers team ever since. He is set to be sentenced next month.

(3,344 posts)As Josh Marshall as mentioned, she is suspicious herself, being introduced to Papadopolous by the now disappeared Mifsud. After they met, she later contacted Papadopolous through LinkedIn. Is she a Russian agent?

(10,053 posts)"Ive mentioned a few times that something does not seem quite right about Simona Mangiante, the wife of George Papadopoulos, a central figure in the Mueller probe as we currently understand it. It was a report about Papadopouloss drunken admissions about conversations with an alleged Russian intelligence asset named Joseph Mifsud that triggered the original Russian collusion probe. He pled to one charge of lying to government investigators late last year and became a cooperating witness. But a couple months ago, his wife, Mangiante began a press tour denying or appearing to recant on his behalf most of what hed admitted to in his plea agreement. She made various claims that lined up with the general Fox News deep state conspiracy theories advanced by various Trump apologists."
