Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on Friday said he plans to sue President Donald Trump’s ex-campaign aide George Papadopoulos over allegations that Renzi attempted to undermine Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Papadopoulos, in an interview earlier on Friday with Italian publication La Verita, claimed that Renzi was ordered by President Barack Obama to “strike a low blow” against Trump during the 2016 election.


Renzi in a Facebook post called Papadopoulos’ accusation "seriously damaging," adding "see you in court," according to Reuters.
