Did we ever know who approved that warrant? Is that important?
“Such a raid requires both high-level approval and an “elaborate review process.”
Authorization for such a warrant comes from either the district’s US attorney or an assistant attorney general, as The Washington Post wrote.
Eric Columbus, a former Obama administration official who served in the Justice Department, told Business Insider that key actors involved with the warrant were Trump administration appointees. Geoffrey Berman, the interim US attorney for the Southern District of New York, was appointed to his role by Attorney General Jeff Sessions while Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and FBI Director Christopher Wray were nominated by Trump. Two of the three, Berman and Wray, were personally interviewed by Trump for the jobs.”
