Boris Johnson Met ‘London Professor’ Joseph Mifsud Embroiled In Trump\/Russia Investigation<\/b>
\nA photograph has emerged of Boris Johnson\u00a0meeting the \u201cLondon Professor\u201d named in the statement of offences against Donald Trump\u2019s former foreign policy advisor who pled guilty to lying to the FBI last month.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Secretary has already denied meeting Joseph Mifsud\u00a0but a picture on Facebook posted last month clearly shows the two men<\/a> together at a recent event.<\/p>\n

Johnson now faces accusations of a possible security breach at a time when concerns are being raised about possible Kremlin interference into the Brexit campaign in which he played a leading role for the Leave side.<\/p>\n

Mifsud\u2019s name arose in the statement of charges against George Papadopoulos who last month pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to FBI agents about \u201cdirt\u201d he was offered on Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

Papadopoulos was living in London when he joined the Trump campaign, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

Papadopoulos told the FBI a London-based professor had \u201ctold him about the Russians possessing \u2018dirt\u2019 on then-candidate Hillary Clinton in the form of \u2018thousands of emails,\u2019 but stated multiple times that he learned that information prior to joining the campaign\u201d, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

In fact, Papadopoulos was contacted after he learned he\u2019d be joining the campaign, and the professor only mentioned the \u201cthousands of emails\u201d after he\u2019d been on the Trump campaign for more than a month.<\/p>\n

The professor, the statement indicates, had \u201csubstantial connections to Russian government officials\u201d even though Papadopoulos claimed the professor was \u201ca nothing\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mifsud in turn introduced him to a Russian woman<\/a> and the Russian ambassador in London, and they discussed setting up meetings to talk about US-Russia ties in a Trump presidency.<\/p>\n

Papadopoulos sent a \u201cHigh-Ranking Campaign Official\u201d an email titled \u201cNew message from Russia\u201d back in June 2016, in which he said the Russian ministry of foreign affairs wanted to meet with either Trump or a campaign official in an off-the-record capacity, according to the prosecutors\u2019 statement.<\/p>\n

A Trump campaign supervisor encouraged Papadopoulos to make the trip \u201cif it is feasible\u201d on August 15, 2016.<\/p>\n

Mifsud is reported to have told colleagues he was \u201cmeeting Boris Johnson for dinner re Brexit\u201d on 19 October 2017.<\/p>\n

A Foreign Office source said at the time: \u201cThe foreign secretary has not knowingly met this person, planned to meet this person, or indeed ever heard of this person before.\u201d
