Another Justice Department inspector general report.
The report disputed GOP claims that a “dossier” of salacious material originally commissioned by Democrats triggered the Russia investigation and that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.
Another Justice Department inspector general report.
The report disputed GOP claims that a “dossier” of salacious material originally commissioned by Democrats triggered the Russia investigation and that the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.
but a 2018 House Democratic memo had asserted the FBI did not “abuse” the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process or “omit material information.”
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) tweeted: “The IG report proves Obama officials abused their FISA power to trigger an investigation into @realDonaldTrump’s campaign.” (The report does not say the FISA abuse triggered the investigation, or that Obama officials opened it.)
(The IG report did not find any White House briefings on Crossfire Hurricane or even that Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch was aware of it.)
