Former FBI Agent to Plead Guilty to Altering Email Used in Secret Warrant
Application

Masood Farivar

   A former FBI lawyer charged with altering a key document used in
   connection with the FBI's surveillance of former Trump campaign aide
   Carter Page is expected to plead guilty on Friday to making a false
   statement, a person familiar with the matter said.

   The expected plea by Kevin Clinesmith is the first criminal case
   arising from top federal prosecutor John Durham's year-long probe into
   the origins of the 2016 Russian election meddling investigation, which
   President Donald Trump and his allies have derided as a "hoax."
