Carter Page brought up the idea of having President Trump travel to Russia during the presidential campaign, according to a closed-door testimony he gave last week. In a May 2016 email to advisers J.D.

Lawmakers from both parties repeatedly sparred with each other on Monday in the first full day of work before a key U.S. House committee on a GOP tax reform package, as Republicans made some small changes to the bill, trying to smooth over any internal party divisions on the tax details, which still might cause trouble for the Republican plan in both the full House and Senate. "Not only do we deliver tax relief for every American family, especially those who feel like they've been left behind," said Rep. Carlos Curbelo , as GOP lawmakers on the House Ways and Means Committee delivered a strong message in favor of the Republican tax reform bill.

Page told the committee he was invited to speak in Russia after joining the campaign - a similar pattern to foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, who approached by a professor connected to the Russian government after the professor learned he was advising the campaign.
