9. On or about March 31, 2016, defendant PAPADOPOULOS attended a "national
security meeting" in Washington, D.C., with then-candidate Trump and other foreign policy
advisors for the Campaign. When defendant PAPADOPOULOS introduced himself to the
group, he stated, in sum and substance, that he had connections that could help arrange a meeting
between then-candidate Trump and President Putin.
10. After his trip to Washington, D.C., defendant PAPADOPOULOS worked with the
Professor and the Female Russian National to arrange a meeting between the Campaign and the
Russian government, and took steps to advise the Campaign of his progress.
Defendant PAPADOPOULOS stated that the topic of their discussion was "to arrange a meeting
between us and the Russian leadership to discuss U.S.-Russia ties under President Trump." The
Campaign Supervisor responded that he would "work it through the campaign," but that no
commitments should be made at that point. The Campaign Supervisor added: "Great work."
c. The Professor responded to defendant PAPADOPOULOS's email later
that day, on or about April 11 , 2016: "This is already been agreed. I am flying to Moscow on the 18th for a Valdai meeting, plus other meetings at the Duma." The Duma is a Russian government legislative assembly.
