House Republicans are pushing for major reforms to the FBI following a report on its use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act from special counsel John Durham.

House Intelligence Committee chair Mike Turner, R-Ohio, joined with members of the panel's FISA Working Group in telling the Washington Examiner about their argument for putting restrictions on FISA powers.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and top Democrats are making a last-ditch attempt to salvage a bill to renew expired surveillance tools Wednesday amid mounting opposition from Republicans and liberals in their own party, but it's still unclear whether the gamble will succeed.

Hours ahead of the scheduled floor vote, Pelosi and her top deputies were still whipping their members, with a growing number of progressives privately saying they would oppose the bill, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Carter Page, the former Trump campaign aide who was surveilled by the FBI, slapped the Democratic National Committee with a lawsuit, and said that he was just beginning.

Page filed the lawsuit on Thursday at the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Illinois' Eastern Division.

Surveillance of Page under a FISA warrant has been at the center of the accusations by President Donald Trump and his allies that former officials of the Obama administration abused the power of the government out of political motivations.

A former Justice Department official picked Friday to oversee the FBI’s reforms of its surveillance procedures in the wake of a damning inspector general’s report was one of the many pundits during the Russia probe to defend the bureau’s surveillance of Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

David S. Kris, a former assistant attorney general for national security, was also an outspoken critic of Rep. Devin Nunes and other congressional Republicans who accused the FBI of misleading the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in applications to wiretap Page.

The headline on the front page of the New York Times on Nov. 23 read, “Report Is Said To Clear F.B.I. Of Bias Claims,” by Adam Goldman and Charlie Savage.

In 2018, the U.S. government filed 1,117 final applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court for authority for the FBI to conduct electronic surveillance and physical searches. One application was withdrawn. One other was denied. The remaining 1,115 were granted.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Wednesday, in the aftermath of his report examining the origins of the FBI’s Russia probe and problems with the process used to obtain a warrant to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

In a rare public rebuke, the chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court slammed the FBI Tuesday for misleading it in applications to wiretap a former Trump campaign aide, giving the bureau until Jan. 10 to come up with solutions.

The order came in the wake of findings from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, who uncovered multiple instances of abuse in his review of the feds’ use of FISA warrants to surveil Carter Page, a one-time foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign.

A Republican push to reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has gained fresh momentum on Capitol Hill amid the fallout of the long-awaited findings of Michael Horowitz, the Department of Justice’s inspector general who illuminated an array of abuses and misdeeds pertaining to government surveillance tools during the Russia investigation.

The former FBI Director evades and dodges in an interview with Chris Wallace.

Twenty years ago, Bill Clinton gave us “it depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” James Comey has now given us it depends what the meaning of “vindicated” is.

The former FBI director sat down with Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday over the weekend, and it didn’t go well. Wallace repeatedly pressed Comey on critical findings in the Horowitz IG report, and Comey shimmied and dodged, in a master class in slipperiness and evasion.
