FBI agents involved in the process of wiretapping Carter Page were barred Wednesday from taking part in other investigations involving surveillance warrants while they are under disciplinary or criminal review.
The order, from Judge James Boasberg, who presides over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), is the latest fallout from a Justice Department watchdog’s report on FBI and Justice Department abuses of the surveillance process against Page.
“There is thus little doubt that the government breached its duty of candor to the Court with respect to those applications,†Boasberg wrote.
In a 19-page order, Boasberg implemented a new rule that any FBI or Justice Department employees under disciplinary or criminal review will be unable to participate in future surveillance matters.
“FBI personnel under disciplinary review in relation to their work on FISA applications accordingly should not participate in drafting, verifying, reviewing, or submitting such applications to the Court while the review is pending,†the judge said.
