Attorney General William Barr announced on Dec. 9 that the surveillance operation against the Trump campaign in 2016 amounted to a “clear abuse” of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process.
Barr made the remarks in a statement responding to the Justice Department inspector general’s report on the handling of the FISA applications for warrants to spy on Trump-campaign associate Carter Page.
