Her husband is a former Trump campaign aide. Both worked previously for Joseph Mifsud, whose suspected Kremlin ties have come under scrutiny.

By Karoun Demirjian Karoun Demirjian Congressional reporter focusing on national security Email Bio Follow March 11 at 7:01 PM The Senate Intelligence Committee met in private Monday with Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos, whose husband unwittingly helped prompt the FBI investigation of President Trump’s campaign, as part of its ongoing probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

George Papadopoulos, who also worked for Mifsud, spent two weeks in jail for lying to federal investigators about his contacts with Russians. Mifsud has told The Post he has no ties to Russia outside of academia. “I was happy to provide information,” Mangiante Papadopoulos said, noting that congressional investigators sought her testimony because she has substantive knowledge of Mifsud. “Definitely not because I am a Russian spy,” she added, a reference to accusations made on social media.

Trump and those close to him have taken pains to distance themselves from Papadopoulos, denying that he played an important role in the campaign. But Papadopoulos has asserted that when he offered to use his contacts to reach out to Russia, Trump “nodded with approval,” according to his lawyer.Mifsud ran an organization, the London Center of International Law Practice, where Mangiante Papadopoulos and her husband had worked.
