The Professor and the Emails

United States v. Papadopoulos (2017)

Charge: Making false statements to the FBICourt: U.S. District Court for the District of ColumbiaState: District of ColumbiaDocket: Cover-Up

The facts

A young adviser to a presidential campaign was interviewed by federal agents. He said he had met an overseas professor before joining the campaign, that the professor was 'a nothing', and that a woman he had been introduced to was barely a contact. Prosecutors say he met the professor only after learning of his campaign role, that the professor had real links to a foreign government, and that the professor later told him that government had 'dirt' on the rival candidate in emails. Afterwards he deleted his social media account and changed his phone number.

You have the facts the court had. Guilty or not guilty? Call it in the game with your friends, then see what the court actually decided. Wrong call, you drink.
