Gowdy blasts Justice Department for failing to disclose dossier funding sources

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) tore into the Justice Department on Sunday for failing to disclose in a clandestine surveillance warrant application that a controversial opposition research dossier detailing salacious allegations against President Trump was funded in part by political opponents.
In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," Gowdy said that a secret court should have been told that the dossier was partially paid for by the Clinton campaign when the FBI sought a surveillance warrant on Carter Page, a former adviser on Trump's campaign.
"The FBI missed a really good opportunity to tell the judge exactly who paid for that," Gowdy said.
The House Oversight Committee chairman's comments came a day after the Justice Department released documents related to the surveillance of Page. Those documents outline allegations that Page had "been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian government."
