WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr has said he is reviewing the origins of the Russia investigation. As part of the review, Barr met recently with officials in Italy, where in 2016 a Trump campaign adviser met Joseph Mifsud, a professor whose actions figured prominently into the FBI’s rationale for opening the Russia inquiry.
Mifsud told a Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, in the spring of 2016 that the Russians had “thousands” of stolen Democratic emails that could prove damaging to Trump’s Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, if they became public. Mifsud suggested that the Russian government could assist the Trump campaign through the “anonymous release of information that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton,” according to the report by the special counsel, Robert Mueller, who took over the Russia investigation in May 2017.Papadopoulos bragged in May 2016 to a pair of Australian diplomats about Mifsud’s offer of Russian dirt about Clinton’s hacked emails.
Papadopoulos was eventually convicted of lying to federal investigators and served 12 days in prison.
