"Only documented and verified information may be used to support FBI applications [FISA] to the court [FISC]," according to the guidelines.
"Only documented and verified information may be used to support FBI applications [FISA] to the court [FISC]," reads an unredacted version of the guide, dated Oct. 15, 2011.
Ron Hosko, a former FBI assistant director for criminal investigations, said that FBI agents working on FISA cases document all relevant information in a document known as a Woods file, named after former FBI attorney Michael J. Woods, who developed the FISA procedures in April 2001.
In his letter to Sessions, Nunes suggested that the use of the unverified Steele dossier was a "Clear violation of FBI protocols." The Republican also suggested that U.S. officials may have broken the law by using the dossier in the FISA applications, the first of which was granted against Page on Oct. 21, 2016.
In his letter, Nunes said that FBI and DOJ officials "Have confirmed to the Committee that unverified information from the Steele dossier comprised an essential part of the FISA applications related to Carter Page.".
In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray in January, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said that based on a Senate Committee on the Judiciary review, the Page FISA application "Appears to contain no additional information corroborating the dossier allegations against Mr. Page.".
The FISA application stated that "Based on previous reporting history with the FBI, whereby [Steele] provided reliable information to the FBI, the FBI believes reporting to be credible."
