DOJ office finds errors in audit of FBI’s surveillance applications
(Worthy News) – The Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General has found errors in an audit of the FBI’s compliance with factual accuracy review procedures for 29 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications.
A December report that found “fundamental and serious errors” in the FBI’s compliance with factual accuracy review procedures, known as “Woods Procedures,” in four applications for surveillance of former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page sparked the broader audit of 29 FISA applications, Inspector General Michael Horowitz’ memorandum shows.
The new audit focused on 29 applications for surveillance “relating to U.S. persons and involving both counterintelligence and counterterrorism investigations” over a five-year period. It found “apparent errors or inadequately supported facts” in 25 applications and no sub-file known as the “Woods File,” which contains documentation to support every factual assertion in the FISA application, for four applications.
