Inside the ritzy London wine bar where George Papadopoulos reportedly got drunk and unknowingly kicked off the Russia investigation by Rebecca Harrington on Jan 1, 2018, 6:22 PM Advertisement
 A New York Times investigation revealed that the FBI probe into whether President Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia to meddle in the 2016 election started at a London wine bar in May 2016. George Papadopoulos, a foreign-policy adviser on the Trump's campaign, told an Australian diplomat that Russia had "dirt" on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during a night of "heavy drinking" in May 2016, according to the Times. That diplomat later passed along that information to Australian intelligence officials, who told their American counterparts. By July 2016, the FBI officially launched its investigation.
