George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during the Trump-Russia investigation, has filed paperwork to run for Rep. Katie Hill’s former congressional seat.

According to a Tuesday filing with the Federal Election Commission, the 32-year-old Papadopoulos is seeking the seat left vacant after Hill resigned.

Hill, a California Democrat, announced the resignation earlier this week after news emerged about her relationship with a female campaign staffer and allegations of a relationship with her legislative director. Nude photos of Hill, also 32, surfaced recently.

His campaign website appeared to be down shortly after news broke of Papadopoulos’ candidacy, though a statement on the website said, “Former foreign policy advisor to President Trump and author George Papadopoulos is now running to put California's 25th Congressional District seat back in Republican hands.”

“Help fight back against Democrat corruption by joining George’s campaign today!” the statement added.

Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in prison after pleading guilty to lying to FBI investigators during its investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election.
