---A former Trump campaign adviser told Congress he had a private conversation with a Russian deputy prime minister during the 2016 presidential campaign and that at least two members of the president’s team were aware, providing more details to what is publicly known about Moscow’s access to President Trump’s circle, according to a congressional transcript released late Monday.
“I’ll send you guys a readout soon regarding some incredible insights and outreach I’ve received from a few Russian legislators and senior members of the Presidential administration here,” the former adviser, Carter Page, wrote in a July 8, 2016, email to campaign staff members after he spoke with Arkady Dvorkovich, the deputy prime minister.
The New York Times first reported the fact that Mr. Page notified campaign officials about his meetings in Moscow, but the transcript, which is over 200 pages long, discloses the names of those advisers — Tera Dahl and J.D. Gordon — and the identity of the Russian official, Mr. Dvorkovich. Mr. Page’s testimony also revealed that more campaign staff members were aware of his July 2016 trip to Russia than had previously been disclosed, including Jeff Sessions, who is now the attorney general.---
---Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) said Page made numerous claims contradicted by the evidence — and sometimes his own testimony — during the closed-door hearing, which he described as “loopy.”
“I have to tell you, I’ve been doing this for a while, and it was one of the weirder depositions I’ve sat through — seven hours of really eccentric behavior,” Himes told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I think it was Lincoln who said, you know, he who represents himself has a fool for a client.”
The Connecticut Democrat said Page denied meeting with senior Russian officials until Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) confronted him with an email he’d written to other campaign officials bragging about his contacts in Moscow.---
