Nunes accuses Dems of lying about role of dossier in surveillance warrant

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) accused Democrats of lying Friday in claiming that a court was made aware of the partisan origins of an opposition research dossier used in part to obtain a warrant to surveil a former Trump campaign adviser.
Nunes's comments came hours after Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee, which he chairs, released a memo alleging that the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) misused their authority to obtain a surveillance warrant on Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign.
In an interview on Fox News on Friday night, Nunes insisted that the dossier, which alleges ties between Trump campaign associates and Moscow, was presented as a significant piece of evidence in the FBI's application for a surveillance warrant.
