Patel accuses FBI of lying to get warrants used to spy on Trump in Russia investigation
Kash Patel accused the FBI of misleading a surveillance court to obtain warrants to spy on President Donald Trump and his inner circle during the 2016 presidential campaign. Patel claimed the warrants were later deemed illegal by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court due to unverified information and lack of exculpatory evidence.
FBI Director Kash Patel alleged that the agency misled a surveillance court to obtain warrants to surveil President Donald Trump and his inner circle during the 2016 presidential campaign. Patel claimed that the warrants were used to spy on Trump and other top officials, including himself. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court later rescinded the warrants, stating they were illegal due to unverified information and lack of exculpatory evidence. Patel served on the National Security Council in 2019 and was an investigator and primary author of the 'Nunes Memo', which alleged bias in the FBI's investigation of Trump and Russia. Patel also claimed to have found a 'burn bag' room full of sensitive documents from the Russia investigation in a room not on the FBI headquarters building map.
