CNN contributor and former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara is shocked by the news that an FBI agent allegedly altered a document used to attain a FISA warrant to spy on former Trump adviser Carter Page back in 2016, and through him on the entire Trump campaign.
"Well, that's kind of an alarming bit of news," Bharara told Wolf Blitzer on Thursday. "Obviously, based on what [CNN reporter] Evan is saying, there's a lot we don't know, but given the description he has provided... If there was an FBI agent who has sworn to uphold the Constitution, who can be proven to have altered a document in connection to a legal proceeding including the obtaining of a FISA warrant, that's really serious. It doesn't get much more serious than that."
"I'd like to know the details, what the nature of the change was, if there was a mistake in some way... [but] based on the reporting it doesn't sound like it was. I want to keep an open mind about it," he went on to say, "but that is not a good thing. [It's] a terrible thing."
