Earlier, during the first hearing on alleged Russian role in the US presidential election, Adam Schiff, top Democrat on the US House Intelligence Committee, accused Page of secretly meeting a Russian official.
Russian officials refuted the allegations of meddling in the 2016 US presidential election and called the accusations Washington's attempts to divert public attention from serious problems in the country.
