President Donald Trump claims it is « looking more & more » like his 2016 campaign « was illegally being spied upon ».
BRIDGEWATER — President Donald Trump claims it is « looking more & more » like his 2016 campaign « was illegally being spied upon » for the gain of his political rivals.
Trump was reacting to the release of documents Saturday that formed the basis of a federal wiretapping warrant against former campaign adviser Carter Page.
He tweeted Sunday that the Russia investigation is « an illegal Scam! »
Looking more & more like the Trump Campaign for President was illegally being spied upon (surveillance) for the political gain of Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Ask her how that worked out – she did better with Crazy Bernie. Republicans must get tough now. An illegal Scam!

The documents were part of officials’ application for a warrant to the secretive foreign intelligence surveillance court, which signed off on surveilling Page.
Visible portions of the heavily redacted documents show the FBI telling the court that Page « has been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government. » The agency also told the court that « the FBI believes Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian government. »
