The Justice Department’s Inspector General found that the FBI wasn’t motivated by political bias when it opened an investigation into the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, but found errors in a wiretap application by rachsandl
Director Christopher Wray testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee in June 2018.: The Justice Department’s Inspector General found that the FBI wasn’t motivated by political bias when it opened an investigation into the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, but the report also found that the FBI made serious mistakes, including falsifying a document in a wiretap application.
The report found that FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, whose now-public personal text exchanges criticizing Trump created an embarrassing public relations disaster for the agency, found that neither had enough decision-making power to make or break the investigation. Right-wing pundits had seized upon those messages as evidence of the FBI’s corrupt intentions opening the probe.
The report notes that the IG did not make a determination as to whether the application would have been rejected if the information was included.
