George Papadopoulos, a former Trump campaign aide who was a key figure in the FBI's Russia probe, is running for the U.S. House seat left vacant by Democrat Katie Hill of Santa Clarita.
Abcarian: Hill messed up, but she should not have resignedThe FBI probe into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign began after revelations that Papadopoulos had learned Russia had thousands of stolen emails related to Hillary Clinton.
Papadopoulos eventually pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and cooperated in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III‘s investigation. He was sentenced to 14 days in prison.
