That means Halper \u201cmay have made clear misstatements to the FBI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The information \u201cat the pleading stage would seem to be enough to suggest that there may, in fact, be some falsehoods going on here on your client\u2019s behalf,\u201d the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evidence that has come to light indicated that British professor Stefan Halper is the confidential source who claimed to the FBI that Gen.
