The long-awaited report is likely to give ammunition to both sides in the bitter debate over whether the Trump campaign was unfairly or improperly targeted, as President Trump has long charged.
The Justice Department’s internal watchdog is expected to conclude Monday that political bias did not affect how the FBI conducted its investigation of potential links between Russian spy services and the Trump campaign in 2016.
The FBI also was investigating Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, to determine if her use of a private email server as secretary of State compromised classified information.A special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, ultimately charged 31 people, including 25 Russians, for various charges stemming from his investigation, but no one from the Trump campaign was charged with cooperating with Russia’s efforts to interfere in the race. Clinton also was not charged in her case.
President Trump’s allies have alleged that the Justice Department failed to adequately disclose to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that its application for a warrant on Page relied, in part, on unverified information from Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer who compiled a dossier on Trump in 2016 that was ultimately funded by Democrats.Advertisement
The first warrant was obtained a few weeks after Page disclosed he had left his job as an unpaid foreign policy advisor to the Trump campaign amid controversy over his contacts with Russian officials. Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told CNN that September that Page was “not part of the campaign I’m running.”
