Papadopoulos Suspects Other 2016 Campaigns Were Spied On
2019-05-08
[Daily Caller] WASHINGTON, D.C.‐Former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos told Tucker Carlson on Tuesday that he suspects the Obama administration spied on other 2016 presidential primary campaigns.

Papadopoulos, whose meeting with Australian diplomat Alexander Downer was used to open the FBI’s July 31, 2016 counterintelligence probe, says he believes he was being monitored long before he joined the Trump campaign.

"In November of 2015, upon the same month that I was going to the Ben Carson campaign‐because people forget that I was on Carson’s campaign before I joined Trump’s campaign‐I was living in London and I had been approached by high-level State Department officials and even the CIA in London," Papadopoulos said.

He continued, "They invited me to the U.S. embassy to meet with me and to basically probe me and to get to know why I’m joining the Ben Carson campaign and what the Ben Carson campaign was really all about. And the man who invited me was David Kovatch, who still works at the U.S. embassy in London. I think he’s directing the Energy Department over there. So clearly, by November 2015, I don’t think that Trump’s campaign was the only one that was under surveillance, quite frankly."
