GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS. I lied to FBI out of loyalty to Trump: ‘Trump had publicly denied that there had been any contact between his campaign and Russian officials, and Papadopoulos did not want to contradict the official line, the source said. “It's all fake news,” Trump said of any alleged connections in January. “It's phony stuff. It didn't happen.” Papadopoulos met with the FBI agents investigating those alleged ties shortly thereafter, and he later acknowledged that he lied during that meeting about the timing of certain contacts.'
