Former Trump campaign adviser Michael Caputo had much to tell on Monday night when he claimed on Fox News he was approached by a second government informant during his stint on President Donald Trumps team.
“Let me tell you something that I know for a fact,” Caputo said on “The Ingraham Angle” with host Laura Ingraham. “This informant, this person [who] they tried to plant into the campaign … hes not the only person who came into the campaign. And the FBI is not the only Obama agency who came into the campaign.”
“I know because they came at me. And Im looking for clearance from my attorney to reveal this to the public. This is just the beginning.”
Stefan Halper, a Cambridge professor, has been identified as one FBI informant who approached campaign advisers Carter Page, George Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: A London Meeting Before The Election Aroused George Papadopouloss Suspicions)
Halper, a veteran of three Republican administrations, approached Page in July 2016 and maintained a relationship through September 2017. Halper approached Papadopoulos on Sept. 2, 2016, with an offer to fly him to London and pay $3,000 for a policy paper on energy issues.
Papadopoulos accepted the offer and met Halper several times in London. Halper asked Papadopoulos whether he knew about Russian hacks of Democrats emails, sources familiar with the meetings have told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Halper also contacted and had coffee with Sam Clovis, the campaigns national co-chairman. They met once several days before Halper reached out to Papadopoulos.
Caputo did not say why he believes he was contacted by a second government informant. Reached by TheDCNF, he declined to offer additional details, saying he needed clearance from his attorney. He did say the encounter occurred prior to Halpers outreach to Page.
“When we finally find out the truth about this, Director Clapper and the rest of them will be wearing some orange suits,” Caputo said on Ingrahams show, referring to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
