Clinton campaign lawyer sought to 'use' FBI, prosecutor says

Jury selected for trial of lawyer charged with lying to FBI

A jury has been picked in the trial of a lawyer for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign who is accused of lying to the FBI as it investigated potential ties between Donald Trump and Russia in 2016.

EXPLAINER: Why stakes are high in trial tied to Russia probe

The first trial resulting from special counsel John Durhamโ€™s investigation of the early days of the Trump-Russia probe hardly seems an explosive affair.

Steep drop in national security surveillance during pandemic

The number of targets of secretive surveillance in national security investigations fell sharply last year in large part because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Ex-FBI lawyer given probation for Russia probe actions

Ex-FBI lawyer given probation for Russia probe actions

A former FBI lawyer was sentenced to probation for altering a document the Justice Department relied on during its surveillance of a Donald Trump aide during the Russia investigation. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana, File)WASHINGTON โ€“ A former FBI lawyer was sentenced to probation on Friday for altering an email the Justice Department relied on in its surveillance of an aide to President Donald Trump during the Russia investigation. The Russia investigation resulted in criminal charges against six Trump associates, but did not find sufficient evidence that Trump campaign associates had illegally coordinated with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Even so, that aspect of the Russia investigation was a small piece of the much broader probe. Prosecutors contend that explanation made no sense and, in any event, was not a justification for altering the email.

Ex-FBI lawyer who altered Russia probe email seeks probation

Ex-FBI lawyer who altered Russia probe email seeks probation

Kevin Clinesmith admitted in August 2020 to having altered an email used in support of an FBI application to monitor the communications of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Kevin Clinesmith admitted in August to having altered an email that was being used in support of an FBI application to monitor the communications of a former Trump campaign aide, Carter Page. Clinesmith's lawyers said that although he believed the information he wrote was accurate, he knowingly doctored the email by stating that Page was โ€œnot a sourceโ€ for the CIA. โ€œBy altering a colleagueโ€™s email, he cut a corner in a job that required far better of him. He failed to live up to the FBIโ€™s and his own high standards of conduct,โ€ his lawyers wrote.

Barr's special counsel move could tie up his successor

Barr's special counsel move could tie up his successor

WASHINGTON โ€“ Outgoing Attorney General William Barr's decision to appoint a special counsel to investigate the handling of the Russia probe ensures his successor won't have an easy transition. But the maneuvering over the special counsel is especially significant because it saddles Democrats with an investigation that they've derided as tainted. A special counsel can only be dismissed for cause. The Biden transition did not respond to a request for comment on the special counsel appointment. But Barr's decision could influence whom the president-elect puts forth as a nominee for attorney general.

Ex-Trump campaign aide sues over Russia probe surveillance

Ex-Trump campaign aide sues over Russia probe surveillance

โ€œSince not a single proven fact ever established complicity with Russia involving Dr. Page, there never was probable cause to seek or obtain the FISA Warrants targeting him on this basis,โ€ the lawsuit says, using the acronym for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The lawsuit to some extent echoes the conclusions of a Justice Department inspector general report that found significant problems with the four applications. In the complaint, Page accuses the FBI of relying excessively for information on Christopher Steele, a former British spy whose research during the 2016 campaign into Donald Trump's ties to Russia was funded by Democrats. The suit names as defendants the FBI and the Justice Department, as well as former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and additional officials who were involved in the Russia investigation.

GOP presses ahead after election with Russia probe review

GOP presses ahead after election with Russia probe review

Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., questions former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2020, on a probe of the FBI's Russia investigation. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, Pool)WASHINGTON โ€“ President Donald Trump may have lost his bid for reelection, but that hasnโ€™t stopped Senate Republicans from pressing forward with their politically charged probe of the FBIโ€™s Russia investigation. โ€œThis is a last ditch, desperate undertaking to deal with President Trumpโ€™s grievances about that election,โ€ Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said of the hearing. Most of the criticism of the Russia investigation has centered on flaws in applications to surveil former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Even so, a Justice Department inspector general report from last year concluded that the Russia investigation was opened for a valid and legitimate purpose.

Job on the line, Wray threads needle on controversial issues

Job on the line, Wray threads needle on controversial issues

FBI Director Christopher Wray speaks during a press conference at the Department of Justice, Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2020, in Washington. (Jim Watson via AP)WASHINGTON โ€“ Less than four years into his 10-year term, FBI Director Christopher Wrayโ€™s future in the job is decidedly uncertain heading into the presidential election. President Donald Trump has been escalating his rhetoric against Wray, angry over his public statements on issues like antifa, voting fraud and Russian election interference. Wray's future is seen as uncertain because Trump has already fired one FBI director and repeatedly lashed out at Wray. If he wins, he could seek an FBI director more willing to back his political agenda.

How a probe of Trump-Russia ties turned into a GOP rally cry

How a probe of Trump-Russia ties turned into a GOP rally cry

Yet in the 2020 campaign, Democrats are largely ignoring the Russia probe. While some of the revelations from the steady drip of newly declassified documents are serious, they do not undercut the reasons the Russia probe was launched or its principal findings. Meanwhile, Attorney General William Barr has appointed a prosecutor to investigate the origins of the Russia probe. Meanwhile, attacking the Russia probe is a core part of Trump's campaign. Those attacks on the Russia probe may not win over many undecided voters.

Barr tightens rules on surveillance of political candidates

Barr tightens rules on surveillance of political candidates

WASHINGTON The Justice Department announced new restrictions Tuesday for conducting any national security surveillance of candidates for federal office or their staff members and advisers. FBI Director Chris Wray has ordered more than 40 corrective actions after the Justice Department inspector general found major errors and omissions in surveillance applications targeting a former Trump aide during the Russia probe. We did not identify any Department or FBI policy that applied to this decision and therefore determined that the decision was a judgment call that Department and FBI policy leaves to the discretion of FBI officials, the report stated. It is imperative that the Justice Department make accurate and complete representations" when applying for surveillance warrants, Barr wrote. When those activities involve federal elected officials, federal political candidates, or their respective staff members, the Department must be especially vigilant, he added.

Ex-FBI lawyer to plead guilty in Durham's Trump-Russia probe

Ex-FBI lawyer to plead guilty in Durham's Trump-Russia probe

WASHINGTON A former FBI lawyer will plead guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the probe of ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. The investigation has proceeded alongside a parallel effort by Senate Republicans to discredit the Russia probe and as Attorney General William Barr has escalated his own criticism of the FBI's probe. Clinesmith was referred for potential prosecution by the department's inspector general's office, which conducted its own review of the Russia investigation. Former Attorney General Eric Holder selected him during the Obama administration to investigate the CIA's harsh interrogation techniques of terror suspects and the destruction of videotapes documenting that interrogation. Barr signaled his skepticism with the Russia investigation right away, concluding that Trump had not obstructed justice even though Mueller had pointedly left that question unresolved.

Raw feelings abound as Senate turns back to Russia probe

Raw feelings abound as Senate turns back to Russia probe

WASHINGTON WASHINGTON (AP) Two Republican-led Senate committees have launched election-year investigations into the Justice Departments Russia probe, resurrecting the issue at the urging of President Donald Trump while reigniting the partisan hostility that comes along with it. In a Senate office building next door, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee approved its own slate of three dozen subpoenas related to the Russia probe over strong Democratic objections. Speaking on the committees investigation, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told Johnson that I continue to be concerned that this is politically motivated even as he voted to move ahead. The president has continued to rail against the Russia probe, which he calls a hoax. Among the names on that list is Trumps Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, who was vice president when the Russia probe began.

Secretive FISA court rebukes FBI over errors in Russia probe

Secretive FISA court rebukes FBI over errors in Russia probe

Without complete and accurate information, the judge added, the court โ€œcannot properly ensure that the government conducts electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes only when there is a sufficient factual basis." In a statement, the FBI called the surveillance warrants an โ€œindispensable tool in national security investigations" and said it was committed to working with the Justice Department and the court โ€œto ensure the accuracy and completeness of the FISA process." Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a Trump ally and the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he was pleased to see the court โ€œcondemn" the FBI. He said he would work with Republicans and Democrats โ€œto make changes to better protect civil liberties while maintaining our ability to monitor foreign surveillance directed against our economic and national security interests." The FBI relied in large part for its surveillance applications on opposition research compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative whose investigations into ties between Russia and Trump were funded by Democrats.
