Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski approved foreign policy adviser Carter Page’s now-infamous trip to Moscow last summer on the condition that he would not be an official representative of the campaign.
A few weeks before he traveled to Moscow to give a July 7 speech, Page asked J.D. Gordon, his supervisor on the Trump campaign’s National Security Advisory Committee, for permission to make the trip, and Gordon strongly advised against it.
Page was told by Lewandowski that he could make the trip, but not as an official representative of the campaign.
