A Brooklyn-based federal judge was selected to serve as an independent arbiter to review the materials seized in the FBI's search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home.
Judge Raymond Dearie also served a seven-year term, concluding in 2019, on the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
In his role as a FISA judge, Dearie was one of the judges who approved one of the Justice Department's request to surveil former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page as part of the federal inquiry into Russia 2016 election interference.
The department's process for securing FISA warrants for Page was riddled with errors and sloppiness, a DOJ inspector general review later found. The IG's review pointed to omissions and mistakes in the FBI's court filings supporting the FISA applications, including in filings submitted to Dearie.
It came back in full circle. is this another attempt by the Democratic Party, timed at the election?
