“It was Trump country, OK? Oxford, Wisconsin, is Trump
country. It’s a population of 800 people. I think the federal minimum security
camp I was at was one of the major jobs that people had at Oxford, Wisconsin.
Quite frankly, I was treated excellent.”
When asked if the other inmates were Trump
supporters, Papadopoulos replied: “Let’s say I had some street cred,
meaning that by the time I got in there...”
“George... George... George...” Melber interrupted. “What
kind of street cred did you have?”
Papadopoulos claimed the other inmates considered him a
fighter ― as in fighting the allegations ― and said: “That counts for street
cred when you get into a place like that.”
“I was dealing with a lot of doctors, lawyers, businessmen
who were involved in similar crimes, like Paul Manafort or Michael Cohen,”
Papadopoulos added, “so it wasn’t a dangerous place.”
Papadopoulos pleaded
guilty in 2017 to lying to investigators about contacts with people linked
to Russia. At the time, former Trump adviser Michael Caputo dismissed
Papadopoulos as just “a coffee boy.” He has since turned into a critic of the
Mueller probe, remained a supporter of Trump and said he has asked the president for a pardon.
