CABRERA: An FBI lawyer could be in hot water after making serious mistakes on applications for a wiretap on a former Trump campaign aide. This after a Justice Department watchdog reported to what started the Russia investigation in 2016. CNN's Evan Perez has more on this growing controversy.</s>EVAN PEREZ, CNN SENIOR JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: The foreign intelligence surveillance court wants to take a second look at all wiretapping applications from a former FBI lawyer who is now under criminal investigation for altering information in the case of Carter Page. A recent inspector general report found that Kevin Clinesmith altered a key document that was used in the surveillance warrants targeting Page, a former Trump campaign advisor. The court which largely operates in secret is asking, that the FBI and the Justice Department explained what they're doing to verify the accuracy of surveillance request that Clinesmith was involved in. A lawyer for Clinesmith did not respond to a request for comment from CNN. The inspector general found a number of problems in the FBI's handling of the eavesdropping orders. There were 17 instances of inaccuracies or emissions in the Page wiretapping. Attorney General Bill Barr says that he thinks that the FBI is making the appropriate changes to fix these issues. But some Republican lawmakers, including Senator Lindsey Graham, in recent days, have said that they want major changes to the surveillance process. If not, the surveillance court may have to be shut down, they say. Barr says that the surveillance law is important to national security, and he says that he's open to making additional changes that lawmakers may want.
