From the Grassley Memo: {{quotebox|the Chairman and Ranking Member were provided copies of the two relevant FISA applications, which requested authority to conduct surveillance of Carter Page.

*'''Carter Page FISA warrant application leaked''' to BuzzFeed and the ''New York Times''. Several major mainstream news organizations are now in possession of the facts - the ''Steele dossier'' is paid opposition research and unverified, and the DOJ and FBI used Steele's reporting to corroborate himself to hoax the FISA court to surveil team Trump. The media now are complicit in spreading the [[fake news]] Trump-Russia [[conspiracy theory]].

*Reporter 1 is probably Devlin Barrett of the ''Washington Post'' (Manu Raju is a second possibility). Wolfe had been in communication with Reporter 1 since December 2015. During Wolfe's interview, FBI agents showed Wolfe a copy of a news article authored by three reporters, including Reporter #1, about an individual referred to as “Male-1" [Carter Page], that contained classified information that had been provided to the SSCI by the Executive Branch for official purposes. The article, ''FBI Obtained FISA Warrant to Monitor Former Trump Adviser Carter Page'', read {{quotebox|"The court documents in that spy case only identify Page as “Male 1.’’ Officials familiar with the case said that “Male 1’’ is Page."}}
