A FISA Court order declassified Thursday confirmed that the government had found two of the four FISA applications authorized for the FBI to surveil 2016 Trump-campaign adviser Carter Page to be not valid, and will further investigate the validity of the other two.
The order revealed that the government found two of the surveillance application renewals to be not valid because the FBI provided insufficient predication to establish probable cause to believe that Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power.
Based on the ordering of the applications, it is likely the review found the second and third renewal applications used against Page to be invalid, while the original application and the first renewal remain under investigation.
Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz revealed at least 17 significant errors or omissions committed by the FBI in his report on the Bureaus Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign, but did not come up with any documentary evidence that the probe was predicated by political bias.
Among the more egregious violations detailed in the report was the revelation that a top FBI national security lawyer doctored an email for Pages fourth application to conceal that Page served as a source for the CIA.
In its order, the FISC also outlines five further steps for the government to complete by January 28, 2020, including a review of its minimization procedures.
