The wife of former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos is expected to appear before the House Intelligence Committee on July 18, according to a report.

Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos' testimony, first reported by Politico, follows her husband pleading guilty in October to one count of making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with a professor with ties to the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential campaign. The professor was identified as Joseph Mifsud.

Papadopoulos did not immediately respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment, but her deposition comes after Republicans on the panel officially closed their formal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

George Papadopoulos' indictment was handed down from special counsel Robert Mueller's federal investigation into Russia meddling and if there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow. His guilty plea was accepted in exchange for his continued cooperation with Mueller's probe.

Mueller took over the federal Russia investigation from the FBI in May 2017. The FBI reportedly opened its probe after George Papadopoulos told Australia's top diplomat to the U.K. during the campaign that Kremlin-linked associates had damaging information on Hillary Clinton.

Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos has become an active defender of her husband, who is under a gag order, telling MSNBC last month that a pardon for him from President Trump would be “appropriate” and “deserved.”

She announced in June she was "looking forward to testifying on Capitol Hill," but did not provide any more details.
