George Papadopoulos, a former Trump adviser whose comments about Hillary Clinton's emails sparked the FBI's Russia investigation, is running for Congress.
Papadopoulos filed the paperwork on Tuesday to run for the seat in California's 25th Congressional District, which is being vacated by Democratic Rep. Katie Hill. Hill announced on Sunday that she is resigning, after being accused of having an improper relationship with her legislative director; she denies the allegation.
