Christopher Wray: FBI working to 'claw back' intelligence gleaned from warrants against Carter Page

FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress the bureau has started to “claw back” information gathered through Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against Trump campaign associate Carter Page. 

 

Wray made the comments earlier this week when appearing before the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee during his first congressional testimony in the wake of Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s damning investigation. 

Horowitz concluded that the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation was flawed, and he criticized the DOJ and the FBI for 17 " significant errors and omissions" related to secret surveillance court filings targeting Page. The filings relied on salacious and unverified allegations contained within British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s dossier. 

“The failures highlighted in that report are unacceptable — period. They don’t reflect who the FBI is as an institution, and they cannot be repeated,” Wray testified. “The FBI has embraced every last one of the inspector general’s recommendations, but we’re also making a number of improvements above and beyond.”
