"The FBI made numerous errors and omissions in its warrant applications targeting former Trump campaign aide Carter Page before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). FBI Director Christopher Wray “deeply regrets” those errors, at least in how they relate to the court’s trust in the FBI.

In a letter released Friday, Wray concludes that the “FBI has the utmost respect for this Court, and deeply regrets the errors and omissions identified by the [Office of the Inspector General] OIG.” The letter was directed to the FISC.

It does not appear as though Wray has written similarly to Page, the target of the deeply flawed warrants. Page did not respond to The Daily Wire prior to publication.

An Inspector General report released in early December found 17 specific “inaccuracies and omissions” in the FBI’s warrant applications against Page. Among the errors contained within the applications was the FBI’s claim that Christopher Steele (an ex-British Intelligence officer who authored a dubious dossier that formed the basis of the warrants against Page) previously had worked with the FBI and that his prior reporting had been “corroborated and used in criminal proceedings.”

This was a gross exaggeration, as Steele’s past reporting “was not approved by Steele’s FBI handling agent” and hadn’t been used in criminal proceedings.
