Rep. Adam Schiff acknowledged the mistakes made by FBI officials as they applied for federal warrants to surveil members of President Trump's 2016 campaign after defending the counterintelligence inquiry for months.
“I’m certainly willing to admit that the inspector general found serious abuses of FISA that I was unaware of,†Schiff said on Fox News Sunday.
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz found more than a dozen examples of information top law enforcement officials failed to share or misrepresented with the court when seeking a warrant to investigate whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election. He also found, however, that no political bias against Trump motivated the effort.
