Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz has told FBI Director Christopher Wray that, as a result of a recent audit, he does “not have confidence that the FBI has executed its Woods Procedures in compliance with FBI policy.”
Woods Procedures refer to supporting factual documentation underlying any application for a FISA warrant. The recent audit was spurred by the Inspector General’s (IG) investigation into the FBI’s spying on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. That report identified “at least 17 significant errors or omissions in the Page FISA applications, and many additional errors in the Woods Procedures.”
