The memo accuses top officials at the FBI and DOJ of misleading a federal judge in seeking a warrant to extend secret surveillance of Page during and after the 2016 presidential election. But according to a Wall Street Journal report from Thursday, Page was known to US counterintelligence officials long before he ever joined the Trump campaign, dating back to at least 2013.
