from Herridge’s report:
“The report examines how faithfully the Justice Department and FBI adhered to the legal requirements in filing applications for surveillance warrants for “a certain U.S. person,” Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Page lived and worked in Russia and traveled to Moscow in a personal capacity during the campaign, to deliver an address at the New Economic School in July 2016.
In 2018, the New York Times reported that the FBI, in its FISA application, had told the intelligence court that Page “has been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government.” The agency also told the court that “the FBI believes Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian government.”
During the special counsel’s investigation, Page submitted to multiple interviews with the FBI in 2017, before the appointment of the special counsel. Ultimately, the Mueller report did not find this to be the case, stating, “the investigation did not establish that Page coordinated with the Russian government in its efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.””
Thank you.
