President Donald Trump highlighted a report suggesting that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under the Obama administration spied on his campaign during the 2016 presidential election.
In a tweet on Thursday, Pres. Trump claimed that the report about the Obama FBI spied on his campaign is “bigger than the Watergate” scandal.
Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI “SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN EMBEDDED INFORMANT.” Andrew McCarthy says, “There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.” If so, this is bigger than Watergate!

The President was referring to an article published by the National Review last week. The article was written by Andrew McCarthy, a senior fellow at the National Review Institute and a contributing editor of National Review. In the article, McCarthy stated that former British spu Christopher Steele claimed that the FBI infiltrated the Trump campaign with a “human source.”
