Carter Page

Newly released FISA warrant application for Carter Page shows that Donald Trump named somebody as a foreign policy adviser to his campaign who was believed to be a Russian foreign agent

Michael McFaul

After Donald Trump’s private, one on one meeting with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki the White House said it was reviewing a request by Putin to allow Russian investigators to question American citizens. The list of citizens included former US ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul. Trump called it an "incredible offer" before finally turning it down after some pushback.

Rod Rosenstein

This month Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced that the Justice Department indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers for hacking American democrats in order to attack the 2016 American presidential election. The indictments came right before Trump was planned to meet with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. During Trump's meeting with Putin he reportedly met in private with no advisers or staff with him. After the one on one, in a joint news conference with Putin, Trump said, "I don’t see any reason why it would be” Russia who hacked Americans. Twenty four hours later Trump claimed he misspoke on the Russian attack on the US election, saying he meant he saw no reason why it “wouldn't” be Russia that was responsible. Trump crossed out a line in the portion of his prepared remarks that read “Anyone involved in that meddling to justice" and wrote in "No collusion" spelled incorrectly.
Trump's supporters have now come out in support of the Russian attack on the American election presumably because the attack helped their candidate and was made on the opposing party.
