(Worthy News) – The Federal Bureau of Investigation committed “17 significant inaccuracies and omissions” in four sequential applications it made to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court when it successfully sought warrants to place electronic surveillance on Carter Page, a foreign policy advisor to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Justice reported today.
“At the request of the FBI,” said the IG report, “the Department [of Justice] filed four applications with the FISC seeking FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] authority targeting Carter Page: the first application on October [date redacted], 2016, and three renewal applications on January [redacted]. April [redacted], and June [redacted], 2017.
“A different FISC judge considered each application and issued the requested orders, collectively resulting in approximately 11 months of FISA coverage targeting Carter Page from October [redacted], 2016, to September [redacted], 2017,” said the report. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
