In April 2017, "The Washington Post" reported that, during the summer of 2016, the FBI obtained a FISA warrant to monitor Carter Page, an advisor to the Trump campaign; the story was later corrected to show the warrant was obtained in October 2016, after Page had left the Trump campaign. The warrant was granted as part of an investigation into possible links between Russia and the Trump campaign. Although Mensch claimed that and similar reports vindicated her own report on purported FISA warrants, the FISA warrants on Page did not entail the surveillance of the two Russian banks Mensch claimed in her story, and Mensch's report, in turn, mentioned nothing at all about Carter Page.
