From Business Insider:
Carter Page, an early foreign-policy adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, said Thursday that he "can't definitively say" the issue of US sanctions on Russia "was never raised by anyone" while he was in Moscow last July.
…
The dossier alleged that Igor Sechin, the CEO of Russia's state oil company, offered Page and his associates the brokerage of a 19% stake in the company in exchange for the lifting of US sanctions on Russia. The dossier says the offer was made in July, when Page was in Moscow giving a speech at the Higher Economic School.

Page told CNN's Jake Tapper on Wednesday that he "never said" anything about Trump being willing to lift sanctions on Russia if he won the election. But on Thursday morning, he appeared to shift his story after some pressing by ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
...
"But what you're saying is it's possible that you may have discussed the easing of sanctions with the Russians," said Stephanopoulos.
"Something may have come up ... I have no recollection, and there is nothing specifically that I would have done that would have given people that impression," Page replied.

If you saw Page’s infamous interview with Chris Hayes of MSNBC a few weeks back, you know he is a dodgy fellow. We recently learned that the FBI got a FISA Warrant to surveil him, because of a high probability that he himself was Russian agent.
If indeed he did speak with Sechin about sanctions, well, that’s illegal.
It’s all unraveling rather quickly now...
