​Trump On FBI Spying ON His Campaign: 'Bigger Than Watergate'

     President Donald Trump said spying of his campaign by the FBI in 2016 is "bigger than Watergate" on Friday. Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office while meeting Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini. The New York Times published an article, titled "F.B.I. Sent Investigator Posing as Assistant to Meet With Trump Aide in 2016." ​

     "That’s a big story. That’s a story that’s bigger than Watergate, as far as I’m concerned. There’s been no president in history that’s given what I’ve given," Trump said.

     "I was totally transparent because I did nothing wrong. It turned out I did nothing wrong. Think of it: $35 million they spent, they wasted, over a period of two years — no collusion, no obstruction," Trump added.

     Trump also tweeted in response to The New York Times article on Friday.

Finally, Mainstream Media is getting involved - too “hot” to avoid. Pulitzer Prize anyone? The New York Times, on front page (finally), “Details effort to spy on Trump Campaign.” @foxandfriends This is bigger than WATERGATE, but the reverse!
