Mark Meadows: 'Highly likely' FISA abuse investigation spawns more criminal referrals
by Daniel Chaitin
April 14, 2019 06:30 PM Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., says he expects more criminal referrals will be sent to the Justice Department based on an inspector general's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse investigation.
Last week, House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., sent a notification letter to Attorney General William Barr saying his team "identified several potential violations of the law" as part of an investigation into origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and hopes to set up a meeting to discuss.
During an interview on Fox News, Meadows said it is "highly likely" more criminal referrals will follow that "correspond with what [Congressman] Nunes has already put forth."
"The big story that has not been told ... [are] leaks to the Washington post and the New York Times that would indicate well beyond what the FBI should have been doing in terms of classified information and I'm sure that the IG will look at that, but more importantly go even beyond that when attorney general Barr looks at the broader accept of this investigation," the GOP investigator said on "Sunday Morning Futures."
