ROME - Former Italian prime minister, Matteo Renzi, said on Friday he would sue George Papadopoulos, a one-time campaign aide for US President Donald Trump, over allegations that Renzi had tried to undermine Trump’s 2016 election campaign.

– Former Italian prime minister, Matteo Renzi, said on Friday he would sue George Papadopoulos, a one-time campaign aide for US President Donald Trump, over allegations that Renzi had tried to undermine Trump’s 2016 election campaign.

Renzi denied the allegation in a post on Facebook, saying Papadopoulos’s accusation was “seriously damaging to my reputation.” He added: “See you in court.” Papadopoulos, plucked out of obscurity to work as a foreign policy adviser for Trump’s presidential run, pleaded guilty in October 2017 to lying to the FBI here about contacts with people who claimed to have ties to top Russian officials, in the first criminal charges alleging links between the campaign and Moscow.

Papadopoulos first met Mifsud in Rome and he alleged in comments to La Verita that the CIA and FBI had used “people like Mifsud” to spy on him and to try to sabotage the Trump presidential campaign. A source close to the matter told Reuters on Thursday that Barr met with Italian intelligence officials in Rome on Sept. 27.
