This doesn't typically happen, but the FISA court has come out with a statement regarding the wiretapping of Trump campaign and former campaign officials and they're saying that they had been misled by the FBI.
This never happens but here is the report - https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/6600-fisa-court-demands-answers-fro/87f1132ddc399b0c99b1/optimized/full.pdf#page=1 - from the presiding FISA judge stating that the FBI had provided false information and had withheld information from FISA judges in order to get a warrant granted to wiretap Trump Campaign officials.
Here's some quotes from the above statement.
The FBI responded by saying that their FBI Director (A Trump appointee) is taking appropriate action against those that had withheld information and provided false information and that they've implemented a 40 point corrective plan to fix this from happening again.
I doubt anything will really come out of this, but I guess we'll see. Just pretty crazy to see the FISA court come out like this, as they never do.
I'll take them seriously if and when we see jail time for the violations.

The frequency with which representations made by F.B.I. personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other F.B.I. applications is reliable - Judge Collyer wrote.
