A draft copy of a report compiled by the Dept. of Justice inspector general concludes that the FBI didn’t spy on President Trump’s 2016 campaign, a person familiar with the document confirms to NBCNews.
he thought “spying did occur” by the federal government on Trump’s campaign“For the same reason we’re worried about foreign influence in elections ... I think spying on a political campaign — it’s a big deal, it’s a big deal,” Barr said in response to a question from Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., who had asked why Barr is looking into the origins of the FBI’s investigation.
A few days later, Trump told reporters,"I think what he said was absolutely true. There was absolutely spying into my campaign. I'll go a step further — in my opinion, it was illegal spying, unprecedented spying and something that should never be allowed to happen in our country again.
Asked if he had"any evidence that any illegal surveillance" into the Trump 2016 campaign occurred, Wray said he didn’t.
