WASHINGTON—The Justice Department now believes it should have discontinued its secret surveillance of one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page far earlier than it did, according to a new court filing unsealed Thursday.
The Justice Department made that determination in a December letter to the secret court that oversees surveillance of suspected foreign spies, acknowledging it may have lacked probable cause to continue wiretapping in the last two of the four surveillance applications it sought against Mr. Page.
The article goes on to state the following:
The government began the surveillance in late 2016, after he left the Trump campaign, and continued monitoring him until late 2017—ultimately obtaining a warrant and three subsequent renewals. The last two applications were submitted in April and June of 2017. It now has concluded there was “insufficient predication to establish probable cause” in the last two renewals, which authorized about six months of surveillance on the former adviser.
The Wall Street Journal further reported that Judge Boasberg demanded the Justice Department explain specifically explain what steps it intends to take “in response to its belief that some of the surveillance collected against Mr. Page lacked a legal basis.”
The order was issued Jan. 7, but wasn’t declassified until Thursday, the WSJ noted.

The Justice Department’s belated conclusion that it lacked the legal grounds to surveil Carter Page is an acknowledgment that a major component of the Russian counterintelligence investigation wasn’t on firm legal ground for part of the probe’s duration. https://t.co/19XxCNoKV7
