The FBI says an audit found only minor errors in FISA warrants
The FBI said it found only"minor" errors in 29 warrant applications to the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, after the agency came under heavy criticism for its handling of politically sensitive cases and reviewed a sampling of its past efforts.
The agency's audit filed with the FISA court looked at almost 7,000 facts in a sample of 29 applications the FBI presented to the court in recent years, following a scathing independent report on errors and concerns in warrants in the Russia investigation. The findings suggest the FBI's sloppiness in applying for foreign intelligence wiretaps is not as severe as its critics in the Trump administration and Congress have claimed.
