Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Colo.) on Thursday accused the FBI of using the controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to “wrongfully” search his name multiple times in a bureau database.
During a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday, the Republican lawmaker confronted FBI Director Christopher Wray about the incident that occurred sometime between December 2019 and May 2020., and using “only the name of a US congressman” to gather information.
The Colorado Republican added that based on the declassified report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence mentioning the incident, the analyst’s queries “retrieved unminimized FISA acquired information, including Section 702 acquired products that were opened.
Wray did not specifically address LaHood’s allegation, but said the FBI has made several reforms in recent years aimed at preventing FISA misuse and that the violations in the ODNI report “predate all these reforms.”
