The Associated Press has confirmed the identities of two foreign nationals at the center of contacts between Russia and a former adviser to President Donald Trumps campaign.
Emails obtained by the AP show that George Papadopoulos conversations, cited in court papers, were with Joseph Mifsud and Ivan Timofeev. Mifsud is a professor and honorary director of the London Academy of Diplomacy. Ivan Timofeev is director of programs at the Russian International Affairs Council in Moscow.
Court papers filed by special counsel Robert Mueller did not name the men. They say a professor told Papadopoulos in April 2016 that the Russians had dirt on Democrat Hillary Clinton in the form of emails. They also say Papadopoulos had discussions with the other man, described as having connections to the Russian foreign ministry.
Trump on Twitter Tuesday sought to distance himself from George Papadopoulos: Few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar.
