Meadows goes on to explain that he is concerned that the FBI used the dossier to obtain the warrants and in doing so failed to disclose that the dossier was actually funded by Democrats.The chairman of the House Freedom Caucus is asking a federal judge to investigate whether the process of granting secret surveillance warrants against American citizens was “weaponized for political means” against the Trump campaign.
