Court documents from the guilty plea of George Papadopolous, one of the first foreign policy advisers to be picked by Trump for Trump’s campaign, revealed that a “campaign supervisor” encouraged Papadopolous to travel to Russia to set up meetings with Russian oligarchs.

The "campaign supervisor” has been identified as none other than Sam Clovis, and his attorney, Victoria Toensing, confirmed it. 

Sam Clovis is the famously not a scientist right wing radio host who Trump has nominated as head scientist of the USDA.
