Rep. Andy Biggs tells FBI director Christopher Wray that GOP lawmakers undecided on reauthorization of FISA over past abuses
The Arizona Republican sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray Tuesday regarding the agency’s use of “backdoor searches” to access FISA data to get information relating to U.S. citizens.
In a footnote, the report says, “An [Intelligence Analyst] conducted approximately [redacted number of] queries in [redacted]using only the name of a U.S. congressman.” The FISA court came under scrutiny when Trump-era National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned from his White House job and Richard Grenell, then-acting director of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, declassified a list of almost 40 officials in former President Barack Obama’s administration who had wanted to unmask Mr. Flynn’s identity.
“The latest report on the FBI’s alleged FISA abuse reveals that the agency is directly violating the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution—protections that prohibit warrantless surveillance on Americans by an overreaching government. That’s unacceptable and cannot continue,” he said.
