Grassley: 'Disgusted and 'Terrified' by FBI Spying on Trump Campaign

Grassley: 'Disgusted and 'Terrified' by FBI Spying on Trump Campaign: Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the former Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, said Monday that Americans should be “disgusted” and “terrified” by the FBI’s spying on Americans.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general (IG) released his report, which found that the FBI had an authorized “purpose” to investigate the 2016 Trump campaign; however, the agency committed a series of wrongdoings in the process.

The IG report found that the FBI made “significant inaccuracies and omissions” in the agency’s applications to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, stating agents “failed to meet the basic obligation” to make sure their applications were accurate.

Grassley said that Americans should be disturbed by the FBI’s spying on Americans through the use of FISA warrants.
