You see the former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser in news footage — smiling when he shouldn’t. His name appears in the infamous dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Democratic Party and the Hillary Clinton campaign. A secret warrant to surveil Page, based in part on that dossier, is the subject of the Republican House Intelligence Committee memo declassified last week.
News profiles of Page portray him as an incautious mediocrity, choosing to appear before congressional investigative committees without a lawyer. As the New York Times Magazine reported in December, he runs a small investment firm based in a temporary windowless office shared with the National Shingles Foundation.
