According to Mensch's article, the FISA warrant giving permission to investigate the Trump campaign was granted in October 2016, in "connection with the investigation of suspected activity between the server Trump Tower and two banks, SVB Bank and Alfa Bank." The article also wrote that "it is thought in the intelligence community that the warrant covers any 'US person' connected to this investigation, and thus covers Donald Trump and at least three further men." In January 2017, Paul Wood on BBC News reported a FISA warrant issued on 15 October 2016 to intercept the electronic records from two Russian banks in relation to the Trump campaign; a week later, "McClatchy" independently confirmed the BBC report, and in February 2017 "The Guardian" wrote that "former officials said they believed that the Mensch and BBC account of the Fisa warrants was correct." However, Glenn Kessler, writing in "The Washington Post", wrote that "McClatchy"s article ", like that of the BBC, differed significantly from the "Heat Street" account. Despite this, Mensch often cited the "McClatchy" article as evidence that her story was true.
