How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The former advisor to President Trump shares an insider account of the investigation into Russian collusion in a memoir that "unfolds like a spy thriller" ( Publishers Weekly). As a young, ambitious foreign policy advisor to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, George Papadopoulos became the first Trump official to plead guilty in special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He then became the first campaign advisor sentenced to prison. But as he explains in Deep State Target, there was an intricate set up at play, and it was neither Trump nor the Russians pulling the strings. American and allied intelligence services set out to destroy a Trump presidency before it even started. Here, Papadopoulos gives the play-by-play of how operatives like Professor Joseph Mifsud, Sergei Millian, Alexander Downer, and Stefan Halper worked to invent a Russian conspiracy that would irreparably damage the Trump administration. Papadopoulos was there: In secret meetings across the globe, on city streets being tailed by agents, and ultimately being interrogated by Mueller's team and agreeing to a guilty plea.

Autorenporträt

George Papadopoulos became the first person to plead guilty in the Mueller Investigation when-on October 5, 2017-he conceded that he had lied to the F.B.I. about a conversation with a professor during which he was told that Moscow had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton and "thousands of emails," according to court records. Papadopoulos is a former advisor to President Trump and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. A University College London graduate, past Hudson Institute analyst, and career oil, gas and policy consultant, he was sentenced to 14 days in jail, fined $9,500 and ordered to complete 200 hours of community service and one year of probation after he serves his sentence. He is married to Simona Mangiante and lives in Chicago.
