"He told the panel that he eventually took the trip himself, delivering a commencement speech at a Moscow university where he exchanged pleasantries with Russian deputy prime minister Arkady Dvorkovich.

He also met Dvorkovich at a private dinner held by university academics when he returned to Moscow in December.
Page told the panel that he did not make the Moscow trip as part of his role as a Trump campaign adviser, but had told campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, and Trump backer and future attorney general Jeff Sessions, about the journey.
FBI officials have told CNN that Page may have become compromised by Russia during the July trip."
