To the delight of social media, Carter Pageâforeign-policy adviser to Donald Trumpâs presidential campaignâonce again appeared on national television Monday night, and admitted that he âmay haveâ discussed Russia with indicted fellow adviser George Papadopoulos. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty this month to lying to the FBI as part of special counsel Robert Muellerâs investigation into Russian interference in the election and is now cooperating with the investigation. MSNBCâs Chris Hayes asked if Page and Papadopoulos ever exchanged emails. âProbably a few, yeah,â Page said. âWere you on email chains about Russia?â Hayes asked. âIt may have come up, yeah,â Page answered. He later noted that he, too, has been willingly cooperating with the investigation âsince March.â
