European intelligence officers say meetings between a Trump aide and a Greek politician should worry US investigators

First, the background: The campaign aide is George Papadopoulos. You’ve heard his name a lot in relation to the Russia investigation.

Who is he again? He’s a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. Also one of the first people charged in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe. He pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

Here’s what’s new: We spoke with European intelligence officers. They say there’s a set of meetings Papadopoulos held in Europe before and after the election that should alarm US investigators.

The meetings were with Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos. He’s known to be close to Vladimir Putin — their relationship goes beyond Greece’s traditional ties to Russia through the Eastern Orthodox Church. 

Key quote: One NATO intelligence officer told us: “Like much of the Greek economic and security establishment, the Ministry of Defense is considered compromised by Russian intelligence.”
