But there was something else several reporters thought was much more intriguing: a description of a meeting between Carter Page, a Trump aide, and Igor Sechin, a longtime Putin collaborator and head of the Russian energy giant Rosneft.
The dossier reported that Sechin âwas so keen to lift personal and corporate western sanctions imposed on the company, that he offered PAGE/TRUMPâs associates the brokerage of up to a 19% (privatised) stake in Rosneft in return. PAGE had expressed interest and confirmed that were TRUMP elected US president, then sanctions on Russia would be lifted.â
As the Mueller report pointed out, the dossier was wrong about the identity of the Rosneft official Page met: it was actually one of Sechinâs deputies, Andrey Baranov. The dossier was also off by half a percentage point about the size of the privatization.
