US President Donald Trump has claimed new documents relating to the wiretapping of his former campaign advisor, Carter Page, show intelligence agencies misled the courts in order to obtain a warrant.

 

The claim comes months after Republicans claimed the FBI misrepresented evidence to obtain warrants to monitor Mr Page as they looked into collusion between Trump aides and the Russian government.

 

Mr Page has denied being a Russian agent and has not been charged with any crimes.

 

Although, newly released documents show the FBI told the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Mr Page had been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government.
