The Department of Justice says it will allow members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees to view surveillance warrants granted against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in what the agency is calling an "Extraordinary accommodation."
DOJ is allowing the access to the four warrant applications in response to demands from California Rep. Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Nunes threatened earlier this week to take legal action if the DOJ did not provide all committee members access to the four Page warrants, which were issued in 2016 and 2017 by judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court.
Nunes and other congressional Republicans have accused the DOJ and FBI of abusing the FISA process by relying on the unverified Steele dossier to obtain the warrants to spy on Page.
Nunes issued a subpoena for the documents on Aug. 24, though the DOJ and FBI have avoided providing them.
The DOJ has allowed two members of the House Intelligence Committee to view the FISA warrants.
Nunes said in the letter that the DOJ responded on Feb. 26 by denying the request.
