Rep. Jordan: Did FBI Use 'National Enquirer Garbage' Dossier to Spy on Americans?

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will face tough questioning by the House Judiciary Committee over whether he took "this National Enquirer garbage" dossier about President Donald Trump and used it as a basis of securing warrants to spy on Americans, Rep. Jim Jordan, said Friday, after pressing FBI Director Christopher Wray on the same questions Thursday.

"They can give us what they took to the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) court," the Ohio Republican told Fox News' Harris Faulkner on her "Outnumbered Overtime" program. "Mr. Rosenstein will be there next week, we'll ask him some of the same type of questions ... let the Congress see if, in fact, he took this National Enquirer garbage so-called dossier, if you use that as the basis of securing warrants to spy on Americans. Let us know if that happened or not. I think it did."

The dossier was financed in part, Jordan pointed out, by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, which paid the law firm connected with a former MI-6 British agent, Christopher Steele, who obtained the document from Russians.

"It's opposition research, paid for by the Democratic National Committee," Jordan said. "Was the FBI working with that Democrat National Committee to take this document, dress it up, take it to the court so they can go after the other party's campaign and other party's nominee. That is as wrong as it gets. Everything points on that. It looks like that's what took place."
