Wolfe, who faced the lesser charge of lying to the FBI rather than the more serious charge of leaking classified [[national security]] information, apparantly told the FBI he was acting on the instructions of his superiors when he leaked the Carter Page FISA application to reporter Ali Watkins in March 2017.
Sen. Warner likely instructed Wolfe to leak the content of the classified FISA application to Wolfe’s media sources.
