"Former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, reacting to Special Counsel John Durhamās latest filing, told Fox News in an exclusive interview that the original Trump-Russia probe was about "manufacturing a situation" around Donald Trump and his associates in an effort to tie them to the Kremlin, calling activities surrounding the origins of the investigation a "master class in deception."
Durham, in a Feb. 11 court filing, first reported by Fox News,
alleged "Tech Executive-1," now identified as Rodney Joffe, and his associates, including a lawyer for Hillary Clintonās presidential campaign, Michael Sussmann, "exploited" internet traffic pertaining to a "particular healthcare provider," Trump Tower, Trumpās Central Park West apartment building, and the Executive Office of the President of the United States in order to "establish āan inferenceā and ānarrativeā" to then bring to federal government agencies tying Trump to Russia.
Papadopoulos was referring to Durhamās latest filing, as well as the unverified anti-Trump dossier which was authored by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, commissioned by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, and funded by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clintonās presidential campaign through law firm Perkins Coie.
The now-discredited anti-Trump dossier contained claims about alleged ties between Donald Trump and Russia that served as the basis for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page."
