I think in the coming days and weeks the Russia investigation is going to get very interesting....


George Papadopoulos told a senior Trump adviser he had an 'interesting message' from Russia — a day after learning of Clinton 'dirt'

*George Papadopoulos told Stephen Miller, a senior Trump campaign policy adviser, that he had received "interesting messages" from Moscow — one day after learning that Russia apparently had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

*The email could shed light on why Miller was reportedly interviewed by the special counsel Robert Mueller as part of his investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 US election.

*Papadopoulos continued to pitch a meeting between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting to high-level campaign officials.

The former Trump campaign foreign-policy adviser George Papadopoulos told Stephen Miller, a senior policy adviser, in an email last April that he had received an "interesting message" from Russia — one day after learning that the Kremlin apparently had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee. The emails were disclosed in court documents filed by the special counsel Robert Mueller's office and unsealed late last month. The New York Times reported on Friday that Miller was the "senior policy adviser" described, but not named, in the court filings.

The court filings say that on April 25, 2016, after "multiple conversations" with a Russian national connected to Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Papadopoulos told Miller that "the Russian government has an open invitation by Putin for Mr. Trump to meet him when he is ready," referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. "The advantage of being in London is that these governments tend to speak a bit more openly in 'neutral' cities," he said.

Papadopoulos emailed Miller the next day. "Have some interesting messages coming in from Moscow about a trip when the time is right," he wrote, the court filings say. Papadopoulos also emailed Paul Manafort on April 27 asking "to discuss Russia's interest in hosting Mr. Trump." Manafort, who was then a campaign strategist but later became the campaign chairman, was described in the court filings as a "high-ranking campaign official." "Have been receiving a lot of calls over the last month about Putin wanting to host him and the team when the time is right," Papadopoulos told Manafort.

On May 5, Papadopoulos called Clovis. After their phone call, he forwarded Clovis the ministry contact's email with a new subject line: "Russia updates." Papadopoulos' efforts to arrange the Trump-Putin meeting continued through June. "Russia has been eager to meet Mr. Trump for quite sometime and have been reaching out to me to discuss," Papadopoulos wrote to Manafort on May 21. Manafort forwarded that email to his longtime business associate Rick Gates and said, "Let's discuss."
