McCabe Says He Would Not Have Signed Carter Page Spy Warrant Given Recent Revelations

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe told a Senate committee on Tuesday that he would not have signed an application for a warrant to surveil a former Trump campaign aide had he known it contained inaccurate information.

“If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application in June 2017 against Carter Page?” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham asked McCabe.

“No, sir,” McCabe said.

A Justice Department inspector general’s report released on Dec. 9, 2019, blasted the FBI over a series of errors and omissions in four applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against Carter Page.
