The reelection campaign of President Donald Trump said findings from the highly anticipated Department of Justice Inspector General report showed \u201csignificant misconduct\u201d carried out by the FBI under the Obama administration during the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Clinton campaign and the [Democratic National Committee] paid for foreign sources to manufacture fake dirt on President Trump and his campaign, resulting in the now-debunked Steele dossier,\u201d written by former UK spy Christopher Steele, the campaign said in a statement<\/a> on Monday following the release of the IGs report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese politically motivated accusations were used to justify the surveillance of a U.S. presidential campaign by the FBI,\u201d the campaign said, adding that the agency \u201cfalsified information and concealed evidence that didnt fit their narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result, the mainstream media and Democrats \u201cweaponized this\u201d information as part of their \u201cRussia collusion hoax for more than two years,\u201d Trumps reelection campaign wrote.<\/p>\n

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded in a report released on Monday that the four applications for warrants to spy on Trump campaign associate Carter Page contained 17 significant errors. The errors and other failures amounted to \u201cserious performance failures by the supervisory and non-supervisory agents.\u201d<\/p>\n

In late October 2016, the FBI secured a FISA warrant to surveil Page. The bureau renewed the warrant three times, surveilling Page for a total of twelve months. The FISA warrant application featured claims from an unverified dossier of opposition research on Trump, and Steele compiled the dossier by using second- and third-hand sources with ties to the Kremlin.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteele himself was not the originating source of any of the factual information in his reporting,\u201d the inspector generals report said. \u201cSteele instead relied on a Primary Sub-source for information, who used his\/her network of sub-sources to gather information that was then passed to Steele.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clintons campaign had paid for Steeles work, which the FBI didnt disclose in its warrant application.<\/p>\n

The Inspector General also said it \u201cidentified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation, based upon information the FBI had in its possession at the time the application was filed.\u201d<\/p>\n
