Anne C. Conway
President George H. W. Bush nominated Conway to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on July 24, 1991, to the seat vacated by Judge George C. Carr. Confirmed by the Senate on November 21, 1991, she received commission on November 25, 1991. She served as Chief Judge from 2008 to 2015. She assumed senior status on August 1, 2015. She is stationed at the Orlando Division of the court.[2]
In April 2016 Chief Justice John Roberts appointed Conway to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a term starting May 19, 2016.[3]
Judge Conway approved a 2017 FISA Court warrant for Carter Page, a former adviser to the 2016 Trump Campaign. The warrant application was released publicly in July 2018, marking the first time FISA warrant application materials were made public.[4] The heavily-redacted, 412-page application cites many sources, including confidential informants.[5] Among those many sources, the application cites the Steele dossier, leading former assistant US attorney and legal commentator Andrew McCarthy to write, in reference to the fact that the renewal submission contained unverified allegations, an idea he had previously considered “crazy” (“It turns out, however, that the crazies were right and I was wrong,“) that “the newly disclosed FISA applications are so shoddy that the judges who approved them ought to be asked some hard questions,[6]” and “what happened here flouts rudimentary investigative standards.”[6]
