‘Spygate’ Deepens: Another Trump Official Was Invited to the Event Where It All Began

By The Daily Caller. Carter Page was not the only Trump campaign adviser invited to a July 2016 event at the University of Cambridge, the storied British institution where “Spygate” is believed to have originated.

The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned that an invitation to attend the campaign-themed event was extended to Stephen Miller, another Trump campaign adviser who currently serves in the White House. Miller did not attend the event, which featured former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright as a keynote speaker.

J. D. Gordon, the director of the campaign’s national security advisory committee, told TheDCNF he believes the invitation from Cambridge to Miller was sent in May 2016. That’s a month before a graduate assistant of FBI informant Stefan Halper sent an invitation to Page to visit the campus.

“The invitation was to Stephen Miller who could not attend,” Gordon, a former Pentagon spokesman, told TheDCNF. “In the midst of our policy office search for a surrogate, Carter Page informed me that he had also been invited and would like to attend.” . . .

Gordon said Miller, a former Senate aide to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, passed the Cambridge request to John Mashburn, a campaign policy adviser. Mashburn gave it to Gordon. (Read more from “‘Spygate’ Deepens: Another Trump Official Was Invited to the Event Where It All Began” HERE)

Trump Blames Sessions for Ongoing Mueller Probe

By Politico. President Donald Trump blamed Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the Russia probe led by special counsel Robert Mueller, lamenting that he never would have asked Sessions to lead the Justice Department had he known the attorney general would recuse himself from investigations related to the 2016 election.

“The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself…I would have quickly picked someone else,” the president wrote on Twitter. “So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined…and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion!”

Trump has lashed out often at Sessions, at one point labeling him “beleaguered” and criticizing him regularly for his recusal from activity related to the 2016 campaign. Sessions recused himself only after reports surfaced that he met twice during the 2016 campaign with Russia’s then-ambassador to the U.S., contradicting his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in which he said he had not met with any Russians.
