platform would notcall for giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian andrebel

in Washington. Thearticle stated that Candidate #1’s campaign sought “to make
sure that[Political Party #1] would not pledgeto give Ukraine the weapons it has
beenasking for from the United States.” Further, an August 2016 article published
by an identified news organization characterized Candidate #1 as soundinglike a
supporter of Ukraine’s territorial integrity in September [2015], adopted a “milder”
-tone regarding Russia’s annexation of Crimea. The August 2016article further
reported that Candidate #1 said Candidate #1 might recognize Crimea as Russian
territory andlift punitive U.S. sanctions against Russia. Thearticle opined that
while the reason for Candidate #1’s shift was not clear, Candidate #1’s more
conciliatory words, which contradict Political Party #1's official platform,follow
Candidate #1’s recent association with several people sympathetic to Russian

Russian deputy minister who is now the executive chairman of Rosneft. At their
alleged meeting, Sechin raised theissue ofthelifting of sanctions with Page.
According to the September 23rd News Article, the Westernintelligencesource also
reported thatU.S.intelligence agencies received reports that Page met with another
top Putin aide - Igor Divyekin, a former Russian security official who now serves as
deputy chief for internal policy andis believed by US.officials to have
responsibility for intelligence collected by Russian agencies aboutthe U.S.election.
(U) (SNE Accordingto the September 23rd News Artide, certain members of
Congress were “taken aback” after being briefed on the alleged meetings and
viewed the meetings as a possible back channel tothe Russiansthat could undercut
‘US. foreign policy. The September 3rd NewsArticle-also stated that, following the
briefing, the Senate Minority Leader wrote to the FBI Director, andciting the reports

conduct research into Candidate#1’s ties to Russia. Source #1 provided the results
of his research to the business associate, and the FBI assesses that the business

associate in thefirst place. Source #1 told the FBI that he/she only provided this — bh

campaign and the Kremlin that needed to be investigated by the FBI.
(U) §SXANB} Based on statementsin the September 23rd News Article, as well as
in other recentarticles published by identified news organizations, Candidate f’s
campaign repeatedly has made public statements in an attemptto create the
appearance of distance between Page and Candidate #1’s campaign. For example,
the September 23rd News Article noted that Page’s precise role in Candidate #1’s
campaign is unclear. According to the article, a spokesperson for Candidate #1’s
campaign called Page an “informal foreign advisor” who“doesnot speak for
[Candidate #1] or thecampaign.” In addition, another spokesperson for Candidate
#1’s campaign said that Page “has no role” and added “[w]e are not aware of any of
his activities, past or present.” However,the article stated thatthe campaign
spokesperson did not respond when asked why Candidate #1 had previously
described Page as an advisor. In addition, on or about September 25, 2016, an
. identified news organization publishedan article that was based primarily on an
_ interview with Candidate #1’s current campaign manager(the September 25th News

9, (S) Duration of the Authorities Requested (Seealso,aebl-1
The authorities requested should not automatically terminate when foreign b3-1b7A-1
intelligence information has first been obtained. Additional information of the same 675-1, 2, 3,6
type will be obtained on a continuousbasis throughoutthe entire period requested.
The activities which the United States must identify and monitor are incremental
and continuous, and communications relating to such activities are often disguised
to appear innocuous. The type of foreign intelligence information being sought and
the fact that the activities of this target are ongoing preclude the conclusion that, at a
giventime,all such information has been obtained andcollection can be ended.
Accordingly, the United States requests the authorities specified herein for a period
of ninety (90) days.

aaddition, according to an October 7, 2016 Joint Statementfrom the Department of
Homeland Security and the Office of the Director ofNational Intelligence on Election
Security (Election Security Joint Statement) the USIC is confident that the Russian
Governmentdirected the recent compromises of e-mails from U.S. persons and
institutions, including from U.S.political organizations. The Election Security Joint
Statementstates that the recent disclosures of e-mails on, among others, sites like
WikiLeaks are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed
efforts. According to the Election Security Joint Statement, these thefts and
disclosures wereintended to interfere with the U.S.election process; activity that is
not new to Moscow - the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across
Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. The Election
Security Joint Statementstated that, based on the scope andsensitivity of these
efforts, only Russia’s senior-mostofficials could have authorized theseactivities.
Morerecently, on December29, 2016, the White House issued a statementthat the
U.S. President had ordered a numberof actions in response to the Russian
Government's aggressive harassmentof U.S.officials and cyber operations aimedat

Moscowin July 2016 to deliver the above-noted commencement addressat the New

organization that Page met with Igor Sechin, a longtime Putin associate and former
Russian deputy minister who is now the executive chairman of Rosneft. At their
alleged meeting, Sechin raised the issueof thelifting of sanctions with Page.

regarding Candidate #1’s ties to Russia (the identified U.S. person and Source #1
have a long-standing businessrelationship). The identified U.S. person hired Source
#1 to conduct this research. The identified U.S. person never advised Source #1 as to
the motivation behind the research into Candidate #1’s ties to Russia. The FBI
speculates that the identified U.S. person waslikely looking for information thatcould be used to discredit Candidate #1's campaign.
(U) (X3//INR) Source #1 tasked his sub-source(s) to collect the requisiteinformation. After Source #1 received information from the sub-source(s) describedherein, Source #1 provided the informationto the identified U.S. person who hadhired Source #1 andto the FBI.

Candidate #1 had recently adopted a “milder” tone regarding Russia’s annexation of

According to the September 23rd NewsArticle, the Western intelligence source also
reported that U.S.intelligence agencies received reports that Page met with another
top Putin aide - Igor Divyekin, a former Russian security official who now servesas
deputy chief for internal policy andis believed by U.S.officials to have
responsibility for intelligence collected by Russian agencies aboutthe U.S.election.

(U) (&//IX® According to the September 23rd NewsArticle, certain members of
Congress were “taken aback”after being briefed on the alleged meetings between
Page and Russianofficials and viewedthe meetings as a possible back channelto the
Russians that could undercut U.S. foreign policy. The September 23rd NewsArticle
also stated that, following the briefing, the Senate Minority Leader wrote to the FBI
Director, and citing the reports of meetings between an advisor to Candidate #1 [the
advisor was unnamedin theletter, butthe article indicated that the advisoris Page]

in other articles published by identified news organizations, Candidate #1’s
campaign repeatedly made public statements in an attemptto distance Candidate
#1’s campaign from Page. For example, the September 23rd NewsArticle noted that
Page’s precise role in Candidate #1’s campaign is unclear. Accordingto thearticle, a
spokesperson for Candidate #1’s campaign called Page an “informal foreign

Source #1’s reporting is reliable, as noted above, the FBI closed Source #1 as an active
