Rosenstein testifies he would not have signed FISA warrant for Trump aide if he knew of problems
Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein testified Wednesday that he would not have signed a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant renewal for former Trump campaign aide Carter Page had he known about the since-revealed misconduct surrounding those warrants -- while faulting the FBI for its handling of the documents.
Rosenstein confirmed that he signed a FISA warrant renewal application for Page, during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee where he was the first witness as part of the panel’s fresh investigation into the origins of the Russia probe.
"If you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application?" committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., asked Rosenstein.
"No, I would not," Rosenstein said.
Rosenstein also said that “whenever agents or prosecutors make serious mistakes or engage in misconduct,” the DOJ “must take remedial action.”
“Ensuring the integrity of governmental processes is essential to public confidence in the rule of law,” Rosenstein said.
Now it is important to find out what the hell happened," Graham said. "How could it have gotten to be where it wound up being?"
Graham also prompted Rosenstein to acknowledge there was scant collusion evidence in August 2017.
"The whole concept that the campaign was colluding with the Russians, there was no there there in August 2017. Do you agree with that statement?" he asked.
Rosenstein replied:
"I agree with that general statement."
