Papadopoulos is said to have lied about the timing and scope of his contact Mifsud. [[Robert Mueller]], [[Jeannie Rhee]], and the [[Mueller office]] allege that Papadopoulos falsely claimed that contacts with Mifsud started before he joined the Trump campaign. Contacts started on March 14, 2016; this was some time after he “learned he would be a foreign policy advisor for the campaign” (Statrmrnt of Offense, page 3, paragraph 4) but a week before the campaign’s March 21 announcement that he was a campaign “policy advisor” (page 4, paragraph 6). | Papadopoulos is said to have lied about the timing and scope of his contact Mifsud.
