'There's been so much disinformation and misunderstanding about who George Papadopoulos is,' the former Trump aide told CNN.
President Donald Trump’s former campaign aide George Papadopoulos claimed he was “shocked” and “horrified” when he learned of a Russian offer to provide thousands of Hillary Clinton’s emails to Trump’s campaign.

“I was shocked, and I was horrified,” Papadopoulos said. He also said he went to speak with the FBI voluntarily. Previously, the former Trump aide has argued that he did not intentionally lie to the bureau."I realize that I misspoke to the FBI, but I wasn't lying to hide anything," he wrote in a new book entitled Deep State Target."The 'lie' I was charged with…certainly wasn't intentional.
“Quite frankly, I was treated excellent. Let’s say I had some street cred,” he said, explaining that the prison was “cleaner than my university dorm.”
