Congressional investigators are examining former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page's meetings with pro-Russia Hungarian officials leading up to the 2016 election, ABC News reported on Monday.
Page reportedly met in September 2016 in Budapest with Jeno Megyesy, a close adviser to the Hungarian prime minister who focuses on U.S. relations, Megyesy confirmed to ABC News. Megyesy said he met with Page at the request of Rka Szemerknyi, the Hungarian ambassador to the United States. Megyesy did most of the talking, he said.
"I had the impression he didn't deal with these issues on a regular basis," Megyesy said.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb was the first foreign leader to endorse Trump's candidacy.

(14,647 posts)Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) also asked Page in November about his trip to Budapest. Page told the committee he could not recall details of the meeting.
Yeah, I always forget details my meetings with the heads of putin friendly countries I make special trips to see. Even when I successfully secure endorsements for my boss.
No big deal. I do it so often I can't keep all of my successes straight.
