The FBI has continued its abuses of the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act program, including searching for information on U.S. citizens who had gone to the bureau to report that they were victims of a crime, a newly declassified document shows.

One FBI information specialist between April 11, 2019, and July 8, 2019, conducted approximately 124 queries of email messages and other electronic communications obtained through secretive methods under the FISA program, which permits warrantless surveillance of foreigners outside of the United States.
