We now call it spygate. Reporter he says its starting to look like one of the biggest political scandals in u. S. History. But has provided no proof whatsoever. The president s accusations triggered by a New York Times report that an fbi informant questioned two Trump Campaign advisers about their contacts with russian operatives. The use of such informants is routine, and the times never mentioned anything about a spy inside the campaign. Still, the president ordered Justice Department officials to brief republicans in congress. What im doing is a service to this country.

Nothing we heard today has changed our view that there is no evidence to support any allegation that the fbi or any Intelligence Agency placed a spy in the Trump Campaign.
