FBI/JEFF SESSIONS/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The Justice Department’s internal watchdog unit will investigate how the FBI and federal prosecutors obtained warrants from the nation’s secret spy court to surveil a former Trump campaign adviser, the inspector general’s office said Wednesday [3-28-18]. The statement confirms an investigation that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had requested and disclosed last month. The inspector general will examine the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s compliance with legal requirements in its application for warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the inspector general, Michael Horowitz, said in the statement.”
