WashPost: FBI Obtained FISA Order to Monitor Trump Aide Carter Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Washington Post has revealed the FBI obtained a secret FISA warrant
to monitor the communications of Trump adviser Carter Page last summer.
The FBI and the Justice Department obtained the warrant after arguing
Carter was acting as a Russian agent. Earlier this month, Politico
revealed Trump's campaign sent Page to Russia in July, on the condition
Page would not be acting as an official representative for Trump. Page's
visit came just days before Wiki Leaks began publishing thousands of
emails hacked from the servers of the Democratic National Committee.
