2016 ELECTION/CAMPAIGN/CARTER PAGE/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “President Donald Trump’s campaign team was briefed before and after foreign-policy adviser Carter Page’s trip to Moscow last year, with Mr. Page saying upon his return that he had gotten ‘incredible insights and outreach’ from senior members of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration, newly released testimony reveals.
Mr. Page, an unpaid adviser to the Trump campaign, acknowledged under questioning last Thursday in front of the House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee that he had met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich last July at an event in Moscow…
The House committee released a 243-page transcript of Mr. Page’s testimony Monday evening, shedding new light on the July 2016 trip that has long been of interest to investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election…
Mr. Page told congressional investigation that he spoke to FBI agents four or five times this year. He declined to tell the panel whether he was cooperating with Mr. Mueller’s investigation.
The White House has denied any wrongdoing, and Moscow has said it didn’t interfere in the 2016 presidential campaign or collude with Trump campaign officials.”
