A former top FBI official who was involved in the surveillance of former President Donald Trump’s campaign admitted that there were “mistakes” that were made in the warrant that was used to target his former aide.

During a segment on CNN, former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe was asked about a recent Truth Social post made by the former president in which he called on House Republicans to reject a measure to “kill FISA” because it was used illegally to spy on his campaign in 2016, referring to a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant that was issued to surveil former Trump aide Carter Page over alleged ties to the Russian government.
