Republican senators Charles Grassley (Iowa) and Lindsey Graham
(S.C.) on Monday released a letter they sent to the FBI asking that
ex-British spy Christopher Steele be investigated for possible criminal
violations. Steele authored the anti-Trump “dossier” that was full of
false or unverified information, provided to the FBI and leaked to the
press in 2016.
The FBI secretly used the Steele
dossier to convince a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to permit
one of the most sensitive invasions of privacy against a U.S. citizen:
electronic surveillance by the government. Top Obama and Trump officials
signed four wiretap applications against Trump adviser Carter Page
starting in fall of 2016 — a month before the presidential election —
relying, in part, on the dossier. That’s according to House Republicans
who, on Friday, released a summary of classified documents they
reviewed.
