The top judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ordered the FBI to review cases involving a bureau attorney who allegedly altered an email regarding Carter Page.
Judge Rosemary Collyer ordered the review in a secret filing Dec. 5. The FISC released it Friday.
Collyer criticized the FBI for submitting “false†and “misleading†information in order to obtain surveillance warrants against Page.
The judge presiding over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) ordered the FBI in a secret court filing earlier in December to identify all cases handled by a former FBI lawyer who allegedly altered an email during the investigation of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Judge Rosemary Collyer ordered the review Dec. 5, several days before the release of a Justice Department inspector general’s (IG) report that found the FBI made “significant inaccuracies†in applications to surveil Page.
The report said a now-former FBI lawyer who has been identified as Kevin Clinesmith altered an email from the bureau’s liaison to the CIA in June 2017 to say Page was “not a source†for the agency.
