The House intelligence committee has referred 10 Obama-era State Department officials for testimony in its investigation into the origins of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign.

As part of the FBI’s investigation, a FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant was used to spy on Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page, as well as people within two degrees of separation from Page. These could have included many Trump campaign members, including Trump himself and his family members.
