'''Lewis Lukens''' was the Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S. Embassy in [[London]] at the time [[Australia]]n High Commissioner [[Alexander Downer]] passed on information about his meeting
with [[George Papadopoulos]]. Downer's action was out of process - if there were any intelligence value to Downer's meeting with Papadopoulos protocol calls for Downer to report the substance to Canberra and Australian intelligence for analysis. If the information had [[probative]] value, then Australian intelligence shares the information with the [[CIA]]. Rather Downer contacted the U.S. embassy in London, and Downer's musings were passed from the [[U.S State Department]] to the FBI which, according to the ''New York Times'' and anonymous FBI leaks, formed the basis of a [[counterintelligence]] investigation of the [[2016 Trump campaign]].
