    FBI Special Agent Jonathan Moffa told Congress on Friday that the FBI has used leaked stories to obtain FISA warrants
    Rep. Mark Meadows alluded to the information in a tweet on Monday
    Meadows’ tweet was referring to Moffa’s testimony, a source tells The Daily Caller News Foundation

An FBI special agent told Congress earlier in August that the bureau has used leaked news stories as justifications to obtain surveillance warrants against American citizens, a source familiar with the testimony tells The Daily Caller News Foundation.

During a closed-door interview with the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees on Friday, Special Agent Jonathan Moffa told congressional investigators that the FBI and Justice Department have leaked stories to the press and then used them to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

“He more or less admitted that the FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press and then used stories from the press as justifications for FISA warrants,” a source who took part in Moffa’s interview told TheDCNF.

North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows referred to Moffa’s comments in a tweet on Monday night.

An FBI agent reportedly told members of Congress in a closed-door interview on Friday that the FBI and the Department of Justice leaked stories to the media and then used those stories to justify obtaining a warrant to secretly surveil people close to Donald Trump.

A source who was at Friday’s interview told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Chuck Ross that FBI Special Agent Jonathan Moffa told members of the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees that “the FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press and then used stories from the press as justifications for FISA warrants.”
