Trump campaign approved adviser's trip to Moscow

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/carter-page-russia-trip-trump-corey-lewandowski-235784

Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski approved foreign policy adviser Carter Page’s now-infamous trip to Moscow last summer on the condition that he would not be an official representative of the campaign, according to a former campaign adviser.

A few weeks before he traveled to Moscow to give a July 7 speech, Page asked J.D. Gordon, his supervisor on the campaign’s National Security Advisory Committee, for permission to make the trip, and Gordon strongly advised against it, Gordon, a retired Naval officer, told POLITICO.

I think Page's Russian experiences is why he was on the trump team in the 1st place.
