A businessman being investigated by federal officials for possibly engaging in private discussions with Russia is no longer working with Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, Trump’s campaign manager said Sunday.
Carter Page, a former Merrill Lynch investment banker in Moscow, hasn’t participated in Trump’s foreign policy briefings for some time, Kellyanne Conway said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“He’s not part of our national security or foreign policy briefings we do now at all,” said Conway, who was hired in August. “He’s certainly not [been part] since I became campaign manager.”
Yahoo News reported Friday that U.S. intelligence officials are investigating whether Page is privately communicating with senior Russian officials, including discussing whether the U.S. might lift economic sanctions if Trump becomes president.
