KING: Some important breaking news now out of the Justice Department. A Former FBI lawyer intending to plead guilty to falsifying a document used as part of a worn applications backed used to conduct surveillance on President Trump's 2016 Campaign. These charges the first out of that investigation into the origins of the Russia probe being led by the U.S. Attorney John Durham. Let's get straight to our Justice Correspondent Evan Perez. Evan we've been waiting to see some results. Here's the first one.</s>EVAN PEREZ, CNN CRIME AND JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: That's right. John, this is one of the things that the president has been asking for which is to see something out of the John Durham investigation and Kevin Clinesmith is the name of this former FBI lawyer. During the time that the - that this was under investigation, they found that some anti-Trump messages that he had written in text messages, but this is the thing that got him in trouble was in June of 2017 as they were getting ready to do the fourth warrant on Carter Page, Former Associate of the Trump Campaign, he altered an email that came from the CIA. It turns out Page had been a source for the CIA and this was information that needed to be told to the FISA court. Kevin Clinesmith altered an email to say that Carter Page was not a source of the CIA as part of the preparations for these documents that were submitted to the FISA court. So Clinesmith is now going to plead guilty to one count of making a false statement, which is sending that email, forwarding that email from the CIA officer saying that Carter Page was not a source. We got a statement from Justin Shore, who is Clinesmith's Attorney. He says "Kevin deeply regrets having altered the email". It was never his intent to mislead the court or his colleagues as he believed the information he relayed was accurate, but Kevin understands what he did was wrong and accepts responsibility. John, obviously, the President and Bill Barr have been building expectations that something big would come before the election, you know, from the Durham investigation. I guess that this would count as one of those things.
