Papadopoulos: Sessions Suspended Putin Campaign Meeting
CABRERA: We're following new developments in the Russia probe. An ex-Trump campaign advisor, publicly contradicting sworn testimony given by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to Congress. In new court documents, George Papadopoulos says Sessions supported his proposal for a summit between then-candidate Trump and Russian president, Vladimir Putin during the 2016 campaign. Quoting from the documents, George announced at the meeting that he had connections that could facilitate a foreign policy meeting between Mr. Trump and Russian President, Vladimir Putin. While some in the room rebuffed George's offer, Mr. Trump nodded with approval and deferred to Sessions who appeared to like this idea and stated that the campaign should look into it. But why that's important? Sessions told Congress under oath that he actually pushed back on the idea of the Putin meeting. Papadopoulos' description comes as he fights to avoid jail time after being convicted of lying to investigators. His sentencing is scheduled for September 7th. A report this week revealing there is damaging stories on President Trump, apparently locked away in a safe somewhere and owned by at the National Enquirer. Up next, I'll talk to someone who worked for the paper for nearly three decades. Stay with us. You're live in the CNN NEWSROOM.
