April 12:
The FBI obtained a secret court
order last summer to monitor the communications of [Carter Page] an adviser to
presidential candidate Donald Trump ... the clearest evidence so far that the
FBI had reason to believe during the 2016 presidential campaign that a Trump
campaign adviser was in touch with Russian agents.

February 2:
A House committee memo released Friday has accused the FBI and Justice
Department of misleading a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge so they
could extend an eavesdropping warrant against a Trump presidential campaign
adviser.
The memo accuses the agencies of basing the warrant request to surveil Carter
Page on a disputed dossier, compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele
and partly financed by the Democratic National Committee, that alleges contacts
between the Trump campaign and Russia officials.
Prior to the Steele Dossier, Page was the subject of a
FISA warrant in 2014. In 2013, Russian intelligence officials tried to
recruit Page as a spy.

Trump campaign ex-aide Page says he will take legal steps after memo's release
A former Trump campaign aide at the center of a controversial Republican memo
released on Friday said he would take further legal steps now that House
Republicans made the four-page secret document public.
“Now that a few of the misdeeds against the Trump Movement have been partially
revealed, I look forward to updating my pending legal action in opposition to
DOJ this weekend,” Carter Page said in an emailed statement. Page has sued the
owner of Yahoo News and the U.S. government operator of Radio Free Europe.

March 25:
A federal judge has thrown out former
Trump
campaign volunteer
Carter Page’s defamation, terrorism and fraud lawsuit against a media giant
whose news story was rooted in the infamous
Christopher
Steele dossier.
Six other dossier-related libel suits in
London, New York,
Washington and Florida remain.
On Sept. 23, 2016, bestselling author
Michael
Isikoff of Yahoo News wrote what has come to be one of the more infamous
news stories in the saga of the dossier, the Russians and the Donald Trump
campaign.
Mr. Isikoff
had just met secretly in a Washington hotel room with
Mr. Steele,
flown in from London
at the behest of investigative firm Fusion GPS. Its co-founder, Glenn Simpson,
hired Mr.
Steele, a British ex-spy, to uncover Russian dirt on candidate
Trump with
money from the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Mr. Isikoff’s
story relayed one of
Mr. Steele’s
major felony charges, though quoting a “Western intelligence source,” not
Mr. Steele
and his opposition research:
Mr. Page,
while in Moscow to deliver a public speech at a university in July 2016, met
with two powerful Kremlin figures, Igor Sechin and Igor Diveykin.

June 29:
An Associated Press review finds that investigations and criminal cases are
revealing some truth in a set of controversial memos accusing the Trump campaign
of working with the Russian government. But libel complaints argue otherwise,
and whether there was collusion remains an open question.

July 21:
Carter Page FISA Documents Are Released by Justice Department
The Trump administration disclosed on Saturday a
previously top-secret set of documents related to the wiretapping of Carter
Page, the onetime Trump campaign adviser who was at the center of highly
contentious accusations by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee that
the F.B.I. had abused its surveillance powers.
Democrats in February rejected the
Republican claims that law enforcement officials had improperly obtained a
warrant to monitor Mr. Page,
accusing them of putting out misinformation to defend President Trump and
sow doubts about the origin of the Russia investigation. But even as Republicans
and Democrats issued dueling memos characterizing the materials underlying the
surveillance of Mr. Page, the public had no access to the records.
On Saturday evening, those materials — an October 2016 application to the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to wiretap Mr. Page, along with several
renewal applications — were released to The New York Times and other news
organizations that had filed
Freedom of Information Act lawsuits to obtain them. Mr. Trump had
declassified their existence earlier this year.

Without Evidence, Trump Claims Vindication From Release of Carter Page Documents
President Trump claimed without evidence on Sunday that his
administration’s release of top-secret documents related to the surveillance of
a former campaign aide had confirmed that the Justice Department and the F.B.I.
“misled the courts” in the early stages of the Russia investigation.
On Sunday morning, Mr. Page dismissed the claims in the documents. “I’ve
never been an agent of a foreign power in any — by any stretch of the
imagination,” Mr. Page
said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
He played down a letter he wrote in 2013 in which he described himself as “an
informal adviser to the staff of the Kremlin.”
... some Republicans pushed back against the president. Senator Marco Rubio,
Republican of Florida, rejected Mr. Trump’s insinuation that the wiretapping of
Mr. Page equated to surveillance of the campaign. “I don’t believe that them
looking into Carter Page means they were spying on the campaign,” Mr. Rubio said
on “Fox News Sunday.”
“The only plot is to interfere in the election by the Russians,” he
added.

Fact-checking Trump's weekend of misleading FISA tweets
President Donald Trump's two-day tweet storm over the Justice Department's
release of a redacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant fueled
the raging debate over the October 2016 warrant on former Trump campaign foreign
policy adviser Carter Page.
The President's tweets were also full of misleading and several false
statements.
The tweets on the Page FISA warrant added to the litany of complaints he's
raised about the FBI's investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign, which
he's repeatedly dismissed as a "witch hunt" and a "hoax" and insisted there was
no collusion.
The initial October 2016 FISA warrant application and the three renewals -- the
first ever FISA warrant documents to be publicly released -- did not resolve
those larger collusion questions, but they did show in plain English the FBI's
argument for conducting surveillance on Page.

July 23: How Carter Page ended up under FBI
surveillance on Russia ...
https://www.businessinsider.com/carter-page-nunes-memo-2018-2
July 23:
President Trump Falsely Said the Carter Page Warrant Exonerated Him.
In some cases, it actually makes Trump look worse.
Over the weekend, Trump argued repeatedly on Twitter that a warrant in the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for former campaign adviser Carter Page
shows that the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is
“discredited” and based on a
“hoax.”
But legal experts who have been following the case say the parts of the warrant
released in full do not appear to back up Trump’s arguments.
Trump’s claims about the FISA warrant follow a pattern he’s set after other
releases, including former FBI Director James Comey’s memos of his interactions
with the President, his June 2017 testimony to Congress about those memos, the
Nunes memo, a Democratic response to Nunes, an inspector general’s report on the
FBI and a House intelligence committee report.
In each case, Trump either argued that he was vindicated or falsely claimed that
the documents show that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and
Russia.

November 22: The Democratic National
Committee and two of its top lawyers have asked a federal judge to toss out a
lawsuit former Trump adviser Carter Page filed last month claiming the attorneys
and the party libeled him through opposition research painting him as an agent
of Russia.
In a motion filed Wednesday in federal court in Oklahoma City, the DNC,
attorneys Marc Elias and Michael Sussman and their law firm, Perkins Coie,
unleashed a fusillade of technical and substantive attacks on Page’s lawsuit.
