EXCLUSIVE: FBI sent list of six demands in wake of ‘bogus information’ from informants
EXCLUSIVE — The FBI has received a series of written questions from a top Republican over the bureau’s handling of “secret informants” on the heels of “bogus information” being obtained from sources and in the wake of a bombshell report on the program’s underlying problems, the Washington Examiner has learned.
The DOJ’s inspector general published a 2019 report that revealed “numerous issues” with the CHS program’s informant vetting process — including the fact that it ran afoul of 2006 attorney general guidelines by not properly managing its long-term informants. The report made 16 recommendations to the Justice Department and the FBI so they could improve the CHS program, which it noted must correct itself to ensure “integrity and reliability.
It is unclear exactly how many informants are in the CHS program. But questions about the character of those in that program have continued to be raised by Republicans following the revelation that both Steele and Danchenko were paid through the CHS program. FBI supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten told the court that neither Steele nor Danchenko ever provided evidence corroborating the key claims of the anti-Trump dossier, yet Danchenko was nevertheless granted an immunity deal and then became a paid FBI informant for years.
