The House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees will hold a closed-door hearing with George Papadopoulos later on October 25, CNN reported Friday, citing unnamed sources.

The former Trump campaign aide was sentenced last month to 14 days in jail for lying to the FBI.

He reached a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team after lying to investigators about his interactions with a Russia-linked professor. Papadopoulos also bragged to an Australian diplomat in May 2016 that he had been promised dirt on Hillary Clinton, a comment that prompted the FBI to start investigating potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling.

    It isn’t obvious?

    The White House needs to know what Mueller talked to “Papa” about. Devin Nunes is on the case!!!

  4. Poor Georgie. Was Mueller mean to you? Who did he ask you about? Did he ask you about me? Did he ask about any of us? Did you find out who else is giving them information? See what happens when you trust anyone but us?

  5. show us where the bad man touched you
