In separate news, former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign George Papadopolous said he was guilty of lying to the F.B.I. about being in touch with a Russian professor that had contact with the Kremlin.

Meanwhile, there are further revelations coming in about the infamous dossier on Trump, created by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who had been hired by intelligence firm Fusion GPS.
