It was previously reported that former State Department official Steven Schrage, who advised Mitt Romney’s 2008 presidential campaign, invited Carter Page to Cambridge University where he “ran into” CIA spy Stefan Halper.
Chuck Ross wrote about mysterious Steven Schrage at The Daily Caller News Foundation in August 2019.
According to Chuck Ross and Devin Nunes, Steven Schrage has not come forward for questioning in three years.
While the invitation has previously been reported, Page told The Daily Caller News Foundation he and Schrage remained in contact until after the 2016 election. They met at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland and in the Washington, D.C., area, Page said in an exclusive phone interview this week.
It is unclear if Schrage played a role in the Trump-Russia investigation or if he was aware that Halper was an FBI informant. Page said he saw nothing during his encounters with Schrage that made him suspect he was involved in the government’s investigation of him.
“I never saw anything suspicious,” Page said of Schrage, noting he is reluctant to “point fingers” at anyone because of his own experience facing what he says are false accusations of being a Russian agent.
California Rep. Devin Nunes is not so reserved.
Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, dropped Schrage’s name out of the clear blue during his opening statement at the July 24 hearing with former special counsel Robert Mueller.
When Nunes asked Mueller whether the special counsel’s office interviewed Schrage, the former FBI director replied, “In those areas, I am going to stay away from.”
Nunes said in a Fox News interview Sunday that he wants to know why Schrage invited Page to Cambridge and whether his contacts with the former Trump adviser were linked to the FBI’s own interests in the Trump campaign.
“What we’re trying to figure out is when did the FBI really start to run the investigation, what types of processes did they use, what was the predicate. Because, look, it really appears like they were spying on the Trump campaign,” Nunes said.
“Maybe [Schrage] was just a guy working for minimum wage sweeping the floors around Cambridge. I highly doubt it,” the Republican added. “And the fact that he hasn’t come forward in two-and-a-half years is highly suspect.”
Steven Schrage has been elusive the past three years since President Trump’s election victory. But this past weekend Schrage was spotted at CPAC.
In fact, Steven Schrage attended Svetlana Lokhova’s speech at the conference.

Schrage later came up to people to introduce himself.
