This week on SkullduggeryPod: Ex-Trump aide George Papadopoulos says he's seeking a pardon and considering withdrawing guilty plea by Isikoff
WASHINGTON — Claiming that he’s been “vindicated” by special counsel Robert Mueller’s reported findings, former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos says he is considering withdrawing his guilty plea in the Russia investigation and seeking a pardon from President Trump.
The White House has been noncommittal about whether the president will consider pardon requests now that Mueller's probe is over, saying only that so far there have been no discussions about the topic. Whether Papadopoulos will be able to persuade many readers — much less a federal judge — that he was the victim of a miscarriage of justice is far from clear.At his own sentencing, Papadopoulos told the judge that he was “terribly ashamed” of his own conduct after admitting that he had lied to the FBI, falsely claiming that his talks with Joseph Mifsud, the professor who told him about the Clinton emails, took place before he joined the Trump campaign as a foreign policy adviser.
