Senate Committee on Judiciary
Senate Committee on Judiciary
Abstract
The Senate Judiciary Committee conducted an investigation into the FBI, focusing on the FBI's adherence to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The committee held open and closed hearings, conducted briefings, and posed questions to the DOJ and FBI. The committee found that both the FBI and the DOJ inadequately followed the guidelines set forth by FISA, with agents being trained poorly in FISA and resources being poorly allocated to serve FISA responsibilities.
