A published report says the FBI obtained a court order to monitor communications of an adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump last summer.

Page runs an energy investment firm in Manhattan, and was mentioned by Trump as doing consulting work in foreign affairs for the campaign, but the depth of Page’s involvement with the campaign has been a subject of debate.
