Jeff Sessions may be in big trouble after George Papadopoulos’ guilty plea
The credibility of the Attorney General Jeff Sessions was suspended from a serious question after the Ministry of Justice inserted a advocacy agreement concluded by a former foreign policy advisor to the campaign of President Donald Trump.
The documents revealed that former adviser George Papadopoulos had attended a “national security meeting in Washington DC”, on March 31, 2016, as well as Trump, Sessions and others. During this meeting, Papadopoulos “presented himself” and explicitly declared “in short and in substance, that he had links which could help to organize a meeting between the then candidate and [Russian] President Putin.
Trump tweeted a photo of Reunion the day she occurred, and he, as well as sessions, sat in opposite heads of the table. Papadopoulos is represented on the left of the sessions in the middle of the table.

Although Trump and the sessions have insisted several times that there was no collusion with the Russian government, sessions promised this argument under oath. The sessions also managed the foreign policy team of which Papadopoulos was a part.
“I have never met or had a conversation with Russians or foreign officials concerning any type of interference with a campaign or an election in the United States,” sessions on the Senate’s intelligence committee said in the opening of his second testimony on June 13. “In addition, I have no knowledge of these conversations by anyone linked to the Trump campaign.”
If the affidavit of the Ministry of Justice is true and sessions was in the room when Papadopoulos explained that he wanted to organize a meeting between Trump and Putin, there could potentially be a parjure matter.
