'''Michael Kortan''' was the [[FBI]] Asst. Director Public Affairs, an influential job that controlled media access. Kortan resigned on February 8, 2018 – effective February 15, 2018.
[[Lisa Page]] said in sworn congressional testimony that in late October 2016 she “was authorized by [[Andrew McCabe|Deputy Director McCabe]] and by Mike Kortan to engage with the reporter [Devlin Barrett] on this topic,” in reference to a [[leak]] to ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' regarding the FBI's investigation into the [[Clinton Foundation]]. Kortan is not mentioned in the Inspector General's report on McCabe, although he's mentioned in the IG's June 2018 report. Page told investigators: “I agree with you that it is curious that there is no reference in the IG report at all to Mr. Kortan, particularly in light of what I reported, which is that both interactions with the reporter were done with Mr. Kortan, in coordination with Mr. Kortan and with Mr. Kortan at my side. So I cannot explain why there is no reference to Mr. Kortan in any testimony, if he did give any, in the IG report.”<ref>https://www.theepochtimes.com/transcripts-of-lisa-pages-closed-door-testimonies-provide-new-revelations_2763452.html</ref>
