Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe declassified documents on Wednesday revealing the FBI used a 2016 defense briefing to spy on President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.
"In one of the documents declassified and released on Wednesday, FBI supervisory Special Agent Joe Pientka wrote that he deliberately used the briefing to ‘actively listen for topics or questions’ from Trump ‘regarding the Russian Federation,'" The Federalist reported. "Rather than provide the Trump campaign a specific warning that certain campaign principals were being targeted by Russian intelligence, the FBI instead gave a general, non-specific warning that foreign intelligence services might eventually target the campaign,” the Federalist adds. "Pientka’s written summary of the briefing noted that Trump, Michael Flynn, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were the only three Trump campaign members in attendance. Christie’s attendance had not previously been disclosed," The Federalist reports. "The August 17, 2016 meeting came the day after the FBI opened a formal counterintelligence investigation against Flynn and just two days after FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok texted his former lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page, about an ‘insurance policy’ he had designed to keep Trump from becoming president," the news outlet added.
President Trump reacted to news on Twitter, writing, "This week you had Joe Biden call Arizona a CITY. Nothing matters with him, however, because the Opposition Party (Lamestream Media) covers everything up - especially the corruption."
"The Obama/Biden Administration is the most corrupt in history. They even spied on my campaign," Trump wrote. 5 Trump Keep America Great 2020 Bumper Sticker
