He has been mocked by President Trump as a "low level volunteer" and "proven to be a liar."

But the fiancee of George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign adviser who pleaded guilty in October to lying to the FBI about his Russia contacts and is cooperating with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, says he is being miscast.

"I believe history will remember him like John Dean," said Italian-born Simona Mangiante, referring to the former White House counsel who pleaded guilty to his role in the Watergate coverup and then became a key witness against other aides to President Richard Nixon.

Dean told Nixon in 1973 that Watergate was a "cancer on the presidency," warning him that it was an existential crisis that could imperil his term in office.

Mangiante said she heard about Papadopoulos, who at the time was serving as a Trump adviser, during her brief time at Mifsud’s group. But she said did not meet him until the spring of 2017, after his involvement with Trump had ended. He sent her a message through LinkedIn, noting that they had both had connections to Mifsud’s group.

Soon, the two were communicating online and, after meeting in London, quickly fell into a romance, she said. They spent the spring and summer traveling together in Europe. Though Papadopoulos had been quietly interviewed by the FBI in January and again in February, she said he did not seem concerned at the time about what could be coming.




Wow engaged after dating less than a year. Must be true love, right?

Where is SFP? I need his take on this.

I proposed to my wife 30 days after our first date and we were married 4 months later.

We have been married for 30 years.

I think he’s more the James McCord, but that’s a bit in the weeds for such a recent immigrant.
