Joseph Mifsud, the enigmatic Maltese professor at the center of the Trump-Russia probe, was in Moscow just weeks before special counsel Robert Mueller unsealed court documents alleging that Mifsud had told a Trump campaign adviser that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton, BuzzFeed News has learned. The trip, which hasnt been previously reported, is the last time Mifsud is known to have been in Russia.
Three weeks after his Russia trip, Mifsud was identified as the unnamed overseas professor who allegedly told foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos in April 2016 that Russia had thousands of emails from the Democrats. That was weeks before the Democrats themselves were aware that their computer systems had been hacked.
Mifsud was last seen in public Oct. 31, 2017, in Rome. His current whereabouts are unknown. The precise nature of Mifsud's place, if any, in Russia's meddling in the 2016 US election remains unclear and unexplained.
Still, the new information on Mifsud's travels indicates that even after he'd been questioned by the FBI, and as US investigators were about to make his role public, he remained in contact with Russian government circles.
