FBI Investigating Potential Misconduct In Trump-Russia Probe
The FBI is in the midst of an internal review to suss out any possible misconduct related to the Trump-Russia probe, Curtis Heide, a supervisory agent, said Tuesday.
Heide testified Tuesday in special counsel John Durham’s trial against former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann. Heide said on the stand that a slew of FBI agents are being looked into for the review, CNN reported.
Heide revealed the investigation also extends to him, and that he’s being probed regarding an allegation that he withheld information from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The FBI agent maintained that he didn’t withhold “exculpatory information” on purpose, CNN reported.
The information Heide allegedly withheld was a “recording from one of the [FISA application] subjects,” he told the court. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court looks over surveillance and other investigative requests relating to foreign intelligence.
