Former FBI attorney Lisa Page, in a bombshell revelation, says the agency could not prove collusion between Russia and Donald Trump's presidential campaign before Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed.
Since his appointment, his team has secured cooperation and plea deals from Trump players former National Security adviser Michael Flynn, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Manafort deputy Richard Gates and former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos.
In his charge that Russia colluded with Clinton, Trump was likely referring to the unverified dossier written by former British spy Christopher Steele that alleged Russia has blackmail information on Trump, which he has denied.
Trump and his legal team have argued collusion is not a crime although legal experts disagree on the term collusion and what it refers to.
The website Politifact called 'collusion' an 'imprecise term' and said the 'focus is on what the Trump campaign did and whether that was illegal, regardless whether the relevant statute contains the word 'collusion.
Trump fired then-FBI Director James Comey in May 2017, which led to Mueller's appointment as special counsel.
Manafort worked for Trump's campaign from March 2016 and chaired it from June to August 2016, overseeing Trump being adopted as Republican candidate at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
