2016 ELECTION/CARTER PAGE/INTELLIGENCE/RUSSIA: “Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page on Thursday [11-16-17] delivered subpoenaed documents he described as ‘irrelevant and unnecessary’ to two congressional committees investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Page, an oil industry consultant with numerous contacts in Russia, told Reuters in a text message that he delivered the documents to the Senate and House intelligence committees…
Page delivered the documents two weeks after acknowledging in an appearance before the House panel that he had not provided all relevant documents sought by a subpoena, including emails in which he and another former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, George Papadopoulos, were included…
Russia denies interfering in the 2016 campaign. Trump denies there was any collusion between his campaign and what U.S. intelligence agencies charge was a Russian influence operation that was intended to sway the vote to Trump over his Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton.”
