Carter Page claims extensive contact with alleged informant, more scrutiny for ex-FBI officials Strzok and Page
Following President Trump's decision to allow the declassification of key Russia records at Attorney General William Barr's discretion, former Trump campaign aide Carter Page told Fox News his contact with an alleged FBI informant, Stefan Halper, at a pivotal period in the Russia probe was more extensive than previously reported. Separately, Fox News has learned congressional investigators have been renewing their focus on a text message sent nine days before the government's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) application to monitor Page, in which then-FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page questioned "who's playing games," "scared" and "covering."

The text in question was released last year, but Fox News recently confirmed the names hidden beneath redactions. They included a senior FBI lawyer, as well as the FBI agent "Gaeta" -- believed to be a principal handler for the dossier and its author, British ex-spy Christopher Steele.
