Page served as a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, and has faced intense scrutiny over his contacts with Russia. Page is also the subject of a FISA warrant issued against him to wiretap his conversations over concerns raised by his Russian ties.

Trump has come under scrutiny for his frequent criticism of DOJ officials, including former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who each at one point had oversight for the Russia probe. The president’s firing of Comey sparked the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.
17. Don McGahn
McGahn worked as the White House counsel until his departure last October. McGahn reportedly sat for hours of interviews with the special counsel’s office, and in one instance persuaded the president not to fire Robert Mueller.

67. Trump Foundation
The president’s private charity is already the subject of a lawsuit with New York state, alleging that it participated in a “shocking pattern of illegality.” Among the allegations are that Trump used the charity to illegally benefit his campaign, as well as settle issues with his privately owned Mar-a-Lago estate.
68. Trump Organization
Questions about the president’s private business have been a sticking point for Democrats, some of whom have suggested that Trump may be using the presidency for financial benefit.
