George Papadopoulos has claimed that Trump’s campaign team agreed to the Russian meeting. The claim has put the President under scrutiny.
But despite this scrutiny Trump has denied any involvement and called his former aide a liar. Trump said that Papadopoulos is a low profile individual.
A picture showed the so called low level volunteer at one of his campaign meetings. This alone makes it hard for the President’s words to hold value.
Trump called the former aide a “coffee boy.” All in an effort to discredit anything Papadopoulos had to say.
Trump’s Denial
Trump tweeted “few people knew the young, low level volunteer named George, who has already proven to be a liar.”
Papadopoulos was seen sitting next to Jeff Sessions at a campaign meeting. Trump’s effort appeared weak and unrealistic.
If he wants the backing of the people he will need to do better. Trump is suspected of lying to Americans and his denial only worsened their suspicion.
Papadopoulos said “he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then-candidate Trump and President [Vladimir] Putin.”
He told this to Trump, Sessions and others at a meeting according to Court documents.
Jason Maloni wrote “Mr. Manafort’s swift action reflects the attitude of the campaign — any invitation by Russia, directly or indirectly, would be rejected outright.”
“His request that the response come from a low-level staffer sent a clear signal that the invitation did not merit consideration. This is concrete evidence the Russia collusion narrative is fake news,” Maloni said.
Maloni’s statement was an effort to discredit the investigation.
