The nation’s spy court has quietly approved a Justice Department request to review information tied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants that targeted former Trump campaign associate Carter Page as FBI Director Kash Patel seeks to hand over more Russiagate evidence to Congress.
At the behest of President Donald Trump, Patel already declassified a host of documents tied to the bureau’s deeply flawed and politically-motivated Trump-Russia inquiry known as “Crossfire Hurricane” back in April.
The DOJ’s filings with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court show that the FBI is looking to hand over further information about the Crossfire Hurricane scandal following information requests from the GOP-led House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
Early last month, the DOJ told the FISA court that it needed to review a host of documents containing info tied to the FISA warrant against Carter Page, and on June 17 the secretive spy court signed off on this request.
The Justice Department filed its request with the FISA court on June 6, and the filing was made public on the FISA Court docket on Monday.
Kevin J. O’Connor, the chief of the oversight section for DOJ’s National Security Division, told the FISA Court early last month that “the government … seeks an order permitting the use or disclosure of information acquired from one or more of the four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications targeting Carter W. Page.”
