Carter Page was a paid FBI Under-Cover Employee in 2013, and remained the primary FBI witness in a case against an agent of the [[Russian Federation]] through March 2016. Carter Page volunteered with the Trump campaign on March 21 of the same year. In October, the Obama [[Department of Justice]] represented Carter Page to the FISA court as an "agent of a foreign power" to gain ''retroactive'' FISA Title I authority over Page, to cover the [[Obama administration]]'s [[illegal]] spying on the [[2016 Trump campaign]]. Title I surveillance is the most severe and intrusive [[surveillance]] authority, giving the [[FBI]] authority to apply the same intrusions against anyone Carter Page came in contact with - the entire Trump organization. | Carter Page was a paid FBI Under-Cover Employee in 2013, and remained the primary FBI witness in a case against an agent of the [[Russian Federation]] through March 2016.
