George Papadopoulos

George Papadopoulos is an American political analyst and former foreign policy advisor for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. He became known because he was involved in special counsel investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents about his contacts with individuals linked to Russia. His case highlighted concerns about foreign influence and the integrity of U.S. elections, though he was not a central figure in the broader investigation. Papadopoulos's actions and subsequent legal proceedings drew wide attention to issues of political cybersecurity and foreign interference.
