Le F.B.I. surveillait secrètement Carter Page depuis l'été dernier

Malgré la tourmente médiatique entourant les frappes américaines en Syrie, le dossier de la Russie continue de hanter l'administration Trump. Cette fois c'est le conseiller Carter Page qui se retrouve au coeur de cette nouvelle. Si personne n'est coupable jusqu'à maintenant, il est bon de rappeler que les enquêteurs s'intéressent à d'autres membres de l'entourage du Président comme Paul Mannafort, Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions et Michael Flynn.

 "This is 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. Such contacts are now at the center of an investigation into whether the campaign coordinated with the Russian government to swing the election in Trump’s favor.

Page has not been accused of any crimes, and it is unclear whether the Justice Department might later seek charges against him or others in connection with Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The counterintelligence investigation into Russian efforts to influence U.S. elections began in July, officials have said. Most such investigations don’t result in criminal charges.

The officials spoke about the court order on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of a counterintelligence probe."
