Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, just handed a 14-day prison sentence for lying to the FBI, detailed multiple run-ins with shady foreign operatives in a CNN interview.

“He struck me as someone who was validating rumors,” Papadopoulos said of his April 2016 meeting with Joseph Mifsud, the mysterious Maltese professor who told him that Russia had a cache of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

“It wasn’t an offer,” he said Friday night, denying that Mifsud had dangled the possibility of funneling the emails to the Trump campaign. “It was a proclamation, a statement.”

Papadopoulos said he couldn’t remember ever reporting Mifsud’s assertion to campaign higher-ups – but added he “can’t guarantee” he kept the matter secret from his colleagues.

As he and his wife Simona Mangiante reviewed other overtures from possible spooks from Britain and Israel, they giggled about rumors that they were spies themselves.

The Democratic National Committee claimed in a Friday court filing that Mifsud may be dead, based on their inability to serve him with papers in a lawsuit against Russia, WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign for interference in the 2016 election.
