WashPost: FBI Obtained FISA Order to Monitor Trump Aide Carter Page

HeadlineApr 12, 2017

The Washington Post has revealed the FBI obtained a secret FISA warrant to monitor the communications of Trump adviser Carter Page last summer. The FBI and the Justice Department obtained the warrant after arguing Carter was acting as a Russian agent. Earlier this month, Politico revealed Trump’s campaign sent Page to Russia in July, on the condition Page would not be acting as an official representative for Trump. Page’s visit came just days before WikiLeaks began publishing thousands of emails hacked from the servers of the Democratic National Committee.
