FBI Leaked To Media, Used Media’s Reports To Get FISA Warrants, Congressman Says

The Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus ignited a political firestorm on Tuesday after he said that he has information suggesting that the FBI leaked information to the media and then used those reports to obtain FISA warrants.

“We’ve learned NEW information suggesting our suspicions are true: FBI/DOJ have previously leaked info to the press, and then used those same press stories as a separate source to justify FISA’s,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) tweeted. “Unreal. Tomorrow’s Bruce Ohr interview is even more critical. Did he ever do this?”
