'He was right, I was wrong': Former FBI director James Comey admits he was wrong to defend FBI's use of the FISA surveillance pr

Win McNamee/Getty Former FBI director James Comey acknowledged Sunday that he was wrong to defend the bureau's use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process when applying for a warrant to surveil Carter Page, a former foreign policy aide on President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. His statements marked a reversal from last week, when he said a Justice Department inspector general's report on the origins of the Russia investigation exonerated the FBI of wrongdoing. In fact, the report revealed that there were 17 "significant errors and omissions" in the FISA applications involving Page. "He was right, I was wrong," Comey told host Chris Wallace, referring to inspector general Michael Horowitz, who wrote the report.
