FBI Director Christopher Wray acknowledged the 2016 act of surveillance on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page was illegal.

Appearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Wray was asked about the surveillance which was partially based upon a dossier developed by former British spy Christopher Steele. The dossier has been discredited.

The FBI began and continued the surveillance of Page with 17 “significant errors and omissions” in its filings as reported by the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

The surveillance bloomed into the complex investigation of alleged Russian “collusion” with the Trump campaign headed by special counsel Robert Mueller.

According to the Washington Examiner, Wray was asked about the report’s conclusions by Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas that it “was illegal surveillance with respect to at least several of these FISA applications” in which Wrey replied “Right.”
