James E. "Jeb" Boasberg became Chief Judge of the District Court on March 17, 2023. He was originally appointed to the District Court in March 2011 by Barack Obama. Boasberg is a native Washington, D.C.
In 2016 the DOJ-NSD headed by Mary McCord (DOJ) filed a FISA application seeking a Title-1 search (full and unlimited) surveillance warrant against the leading presidential candidate, Donald Trump. The method to gain the surveillance authority was to use CIA informant Carter Page who had met with the 2016 Trump campaign and call Page an “agent of a foreign power.”
The FISA Court knowingly and with specific intent approved the Title-1 surveillance warrant which was filed using false evidence provided by FBI Kevin Clinesmith and sketchy supporting documents from the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded Steele Dossier with no Woods File was attached.
At the time of the application, Mary McCord was acting head of the DOJ National Security Division. McCord was responsible for filing the warrant application. The DOJ-NSD had no inspector general oversight. The targeting of candidate Donald Trump was entirely for political purposes and intents.
After President Trump won the 2016 presidential election, he gave DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz authority to conduct oversight over the DOJ-NSD. IG Horowitz started investigating the FISA application. The FISA Court (FISC) was exposed by their willful blindness in allowing the Title-1 targeting of Donald Trump.
