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.

February 2: 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.

July 22: 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.

July 23: 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: 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.

September 17: Trump Orders Declass-ification of Intelligence Documents Related to Former Adviser Carter Page

President also orders declassification of FBI interviews with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr

President Trump ordered the declassification of sensitive documents related to the investigation into Russian election interference, a move that could eventually allow the public unprecedented access to a probe that he has repeatedly railed against.

The declassification order pertains to FBI transcripts, text messages and other law-enforcement and intelligence material related to an active investigation into some of the president’s closest advisers.

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.
