Top FBI lawyer Dana Boente, the only remaining active official who signed the warrants to spy on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, has announced his resignation from the bureau.

Boente signed one of the warrant’s renewals that have since been determined invalid by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and thus resulted in illegal surveillance.
