Page told reporters the truth that fall - but it wasn't the whole truth, he writes in "Abuse and Power: How an Innocent American Was Framed in an Attempted Coup Against the President", out Tuesday.
His status as a trusted US intelligence source extended beyond the CIA. Only months before, Page had helped the FBI itself make a case against an accused Russian spook.
In October 2016, the FBI obtained a Title I warrant against Page under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a law that set up a secret court to hear dangerous terrorism and national security cases.
As Durham's court filing showed, Clinesmith and his colleagues knew all along that Page was never a Russian spy.
In August 2016, documents show, the CIA told the Crossfire Hurricane team that Page had been a trusted informant for years.
"The whole system of secret surveillance is broken," Page writes in his book.
Mueller's prosecutors left Page in limbo for 16 months following his grand jury appearance.
