President Donald Trump on Thursday told reporters “there was absolutely spying into my campaign” in 2016, feeding partisan tensions about the anticipated release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report and the origins of the Russia investigation.senators that he believed the FBI spied on Trump's campaign and that he planned to investigate the genesis of the 22-month probe into whether Trump associates colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election.
During a hearing about the Justice Department’s budget Wednesday, Barr told members of a Senate Appropriations subcommittee he is concerned “unauthorized surveillance” occurred on the campaign. “Spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” he said. “I think spying did occur.
