Former Trump campaign adviser: Any info given to Russian spies 'immaterial'
Source: The Hill
Carter Page, a former adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, said Tuesday any information he gave Russian spies in an encounter several years ago was "immaterial."
Any information I could give is, again, immaterial and all public information, he told ABC News during an interview Tuesday at a New York energy conference.
The comments come after a report Monday that Page met a Russian intelligence operative three years before the 2016 race and passed him documents.
He reportedly met with Victor Podobnyy, a Russian intelligence official whom the U.S. government later charged with acting as an unregistered agent for a foreign government.
