Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday argued that the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) warrants to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page were justified.
Rubio, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” said he has a “different view” than President Trump, who earlier Sunday claimed that newly released DOJ documents prove his campaign was being illegally spied upon.
“I don’t believe that them looking into Carter Page means they were spying on the campaign. I also don’t believe it proves anything about collusion,” Rubio said. “He was a guy that was on their screen even before the campaign.”
“I don’t think it’s part of any broader plot. The only plot here is the plot to interfere in our election by the Russians,” he added.

The @FBI had many reasons to look into this guy. And looking into him is not “spying” on Trump campaign, because as the White House made clear last year, he was “not an ‘advisor’ to Mr. Trump in any sense of the word.” https://t.co/rhRUB87OVa
