(AP Photo\/Susan Walsh, Pool)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 8:02 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, May 5, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Republicans in the House Judiciary Committee are taking the FBI to task over further abuses of the FISA warrant process. The domestic intelligence and security service is coming under immense scrutiny, yet again, for abusing their authority to conduct electronic surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray asking him to detail the history of abuses. They cited a foreign intelligence surveillance court opinion released last month, documenting 40 instances where the FBI sought surveillance for matters unrelated to national security.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BREAKING?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BREAKING<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jim_Jordan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Jim_Jordan<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepAndyBiggsAZ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepAndyBiggsAZ<\/a> demand information from FBI Director Christopher Wray on the bureau\u2019s illegal spying activities. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vokLkSR7BE\">pic.twitter.com\/vokLkSR7BE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JudiciaryGOP\/status\/1389591741662179330?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Instead, the court said they used their power to investigate health care fraud, violent gangs and public corruption and bribery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Obama-Biden administration used the FBI to target President Trump\u2019s campaign and now they are looking at ways they can spy on all of us,\u201d stated Rep. Jordan. \u201cWe need hearings, let\u2019s see if the Democrats will do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes more than one year after Department if Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a scathing review of the FBI\u2019s role in Operation Crossfire Hurricane. Horowitz found the FBI erroneously filed warrants to surveil several staffers to President Trump\u2019s 2016 campaign including the president\u2019s former foreign policy adviser Carter Page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe found, and as we outlined here, are deeply concerned that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, hand-picked investigative teams on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations after the matter had been briefed to the highest levels within the FBI,\u201d stated the Inspector General.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the FBI is continuing to weaken its reputation with the American public with their recent raid of Rudy Giuliani\u2019s residence. Agents gloated a warrant reportedly seeking all electronic evidence in Giuliani\u2019s possession as part of a federal investigation into the attorney\u2019s alleged ties to Ukrainian officials. However, they wittingly refused to take hard drives allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden, which Giuliani said proves his and his father\u2019s corrupt dealings with foreign governments.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Rep. Jordan and Rep. Biggs are asking FBI Director Christopher Wray to explain why the FBI keeps making mistakes regarding FISA warrants and how many of their applications have nothing to do with national security. They are also asking Wray what steps the FBI is taking to correct their mistakes.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/pollster-americans-think-cancel-culture-has-gone-too-far\/\">Pollster: Americans Think Cancel Culture Has Gone Too Far<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
