Just a coffee boy.Recently released court documents suggest that the F.B.I. suspected that some of the people who showed interest in [Trump campaign member George] Papadopoulos were participants in a Russian intelligence operation.
[...]
Mr. Papadopoulos was in regular contact that spring with top campaign officials, including Stephen Miller, now a senior adviser to President Trump, according to interviews and campaign documents reviewed by The New York Times.
[...]
Publicly, Mr. Trump and former campaign officials have tried to distance themselves from Mr. Papadopoulos.
[...]
But records and interviews show that in spring 2016, Mr. Papadopoulos was welcomed into the thinly-staffed campaign as a “surrogate” who could articulate the candidate’s views. He even helped edit a major foreign policy speech that Mr. Trump gave in Washington in late April, records indicate.
The day before he learned about the hacked emails, Mr. Papadopoulos emailed Mr. Miller, then a senior policy adviser to the campaign, saying Mr. Trump had an “open invitation” from Mr. Putin to visit Russia. The day after, he wrote Mr. Miller that he had “some interesting messages coming in from Moscow about a trip when the time is right.”
