Papadopoulos told AAP last month he did not mention anything about Russian dirt on Clinton to Downer during their meeting at the London bar."In late July 2016, soon after WikiLeaks' first release of stolen documents, a foreign government contacted the FBI about a May 2016 encounter with Trump Campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos," Mueller wrote in the report.
It was that FBI investigation that eventually led to Mueller being appointed as special counsel to investigate Russian interference. "Papadopoulos and the Campaign officials with whom he interacted told the Office that they did not recall that Papadopoulos passed them the information," the report states.Mueller's 22-month investigation found there was insufficient evidence to establish Trump or his associates engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Russia to disrupt the 2016 election.Papadopoulos entered a guilty plea in 2017 to lying to the FBI and was sentenced to 14 days' prison.
