FBI Lawyer Suspected of Altering FISA Document in Russia Probe

Summary from the AllSides News Team

A former FBI lawyer is reportedly suspected of illicitly altering a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) document related to the FBI's Russia investigations. The FBI obtained a secret surveillance warrant to investigate carter Page Donald Trump's 2016 campaign adviser on foreign policy. Speaking on "Fox & Friends" at the time, President Trump called the investigations illegal and unprecedented. Media coverage differed throughout the political spectrum; some reports led with President Trump's statements on the investigations, while others focused on details of the investigation — part of a Justice Department inquiry into the FBI's handling of the Russia probe. Some right-leaning reports accused left-leaning media of "conspicuously" changing their coverage to ignore certain details.
