November 8, 2017“I don't know of any person working on the campaign that ever had a contact with a Russian agent or a Russian affiliate or anybody that has to do with Russia. None whatsoever," [former Trump campaign manager Corey] Lewandowski told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl.

I'm guessing there will be a lot of "refreshed" memories in the days and weeks to come.[Carter] Page told the House Intelligence Committee last week that he informed Lewandowski in an email about his plans to travel to Moscow in July 2016. Page said that Lewandowski approved of the trip as long as Page did not go as a representative of the Trump campaign.
[...]
Lewandowski told Fox News in March that he had never met Page and told USA Today that he did not grant anyone permission to travel to Russia.

Lewandowski changed his tune slightly on Tuesday night.
[Fox News’ Martha] MacCallum asked once more if Lewandowski remembered the email [exchange with Page]. In response he said that he did not remember the email “at the time” but now recalls seeing it.
[...]
“What I recall is now seeing that email has been brought back to my attention. I didn’t recall it at the time,” Lewandowski said.

“You have to remember, in the context of the campaign world – now, my memory has been refreshed — but to be clear, from what I understand and what I recall, that email was sent on June 19th of 2016, so about 18 months ago,” he said. “It also happened to be Father’s Day on a Sunday, and it also happened to be the day prior to me being terminated from the campaign, so with all due respect, there were many other things on my mind that day other than trying to understand why a volunteer was telling me he may or may not be traveling outside the country.”

“All I was clear about was, if you are going to travel, please do not pretend to be part of the campaign and say that you are part of the campaign.”
