Papadopoulos Met Cambridge Prof In London

Papadopoulos questioned Halper's motivation for contacting him, according to a source familiar with Papadopoulos' thinking.

Papadopoulos told Halper he didn't know anything about emails or Russian hacking, the source said and spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign.

Papadopoulos accepted the proposal, flew to England, and met with Halper and one of his assistants.

Halper invited campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page to attend a July 2016 symposium held at Cambridge regarding the upcoming election, Page told TheDCNF. Halper also requested and attended a one-on-one meeting with another senior campaign official, TheDCNF learned.

Halper offered to help the campaign but did not bring up Papadopoulos, even though he would reach out to the campaign aide a day or two later.

Papadopoulos and Halper met several times during the London trip, including at the Connaught Hotel and the Travellers Club - a classic 19th century club foreign diplomats and politicians frequent.

Halper's research assistant - a Turkish woman named Azra Turk - also met with Papadopoulos.
