WASHINGTON – A former FBI lawyer was sentenced to probation Friday for altering an email the Justice Department relied on in its surveillance of an aide to President Donald Trump during the Russia investigation.
Kevin Clinesmith apologized for doctoring the email about Carter Page s relationship with the CIA, saying he was “truly ashamed” of an action that he said had “forever changed the course of my life.” Prosecutors had sought a prison sentence of several months, but the judge said he did not think such a punishment was necessary in part because of Clinesmith s evident remorse and because of the way he had already been “threatened, vilified and abused on a nationwide scale.”
