Carter Page, the man at the center of the FISA warrant controversy, appeared on ABC News Tuesday morning. In his interview with former Clinton White House official George Stephanopoulos, Page made a startling claim:   

STEPHANOPOULOS: But you’ve been under surveillance from the court since 2016. Since that time have you ever spoken to Donald Trump?

PAGE: I never spoke with him since — I never spoke with him any time in my life.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You have never spoken to Donald Trump in your life.

PAGE: No.

STEPHANOPOULOS: No e-mail, no text, nothing like that.

PAGE: Never.

Page was the subject of a secret FISA warrant that was obtained by the FBI by utilizing the unverified and salacious political propaganda known as the Russian dossier. According to former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe, the warrant would not have been obtained without the use of the opposition research paid for by the Hillary Clinton for president campaign. 

Page was, at one time, an unpaid adviser for the Trump campaign.
