Mrs. Papadopoulos told Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson that she wants to set the record straight on her husband’s involvement in the campaign and ultimately hopes Trump will pardon him.
“I honestly — I know how committed, how much dedicated he was to the Trump campaign,” Mrs. Papadopoulos said. “I trust and I hope and I ask the president to pardon him. I hope he will.”
