A former foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign invoked the Fifth Amendment in refusing to produce documents during a private interview Thursday with the House Intelligence Committee looking into Russian involvement in the 2016 election.
The nearly seven-hour appearance by Carter Page took on added significance after the disclosure in court filings earlier this week that another member of the campaign’s foreign policy team, George Papadopoulos, is cooperating with the criminal probe being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
