Meet George Papadopoulos – The Other George Papadopoulos, That is
It's an unfortunate day to have the same name as the former Trump foreign policy adviser.

NOVI, MI – George Papadopoulos of Novi is not that George Papadopoulos, the one who's dominating headlines across the country today. This George Papadopoulos, who is getting a lot of social media attention by no fault of his own, is a financial planner in the suburbs of Detroit.
The other George Papadopoulos, as you likely know by now, is the former foreign policy adviser to President Trump who plead guilty to lying to FBI agents during their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He's the one who, along with President Trump's ex-campaign adviser Paul Manafort and his business associate Rick Gates — both charged with conspiring against the United States — is in a lot of hot water in Washington, D.C.
On Monday, George Papadopoulos of Novi tweeted, "I am NOT that guy! Visiting my mother in Greece now and can assure u I am getting so fat eating the dishes she makes me...so no wiggling :)"
