President Trump on Thursday touted a report saying the FBI under former President Obama spied on the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential race, saying that the revelation could be “bigger than Watergate.”
“Wow, word seems to be coming out that the Obama FBI ‘SPIED ON THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WITH AN IMBEDDED INFORMANT,'” the president tweeted in reference to a National Review report published last week.
“Andrew McCarthy says, ‘There’s probably no doubt that they had at least one confidential informant in the campaign.’ If so, this is bigger than Watergate!”

The report alleges that Obama-led agencies used their surveillance powers to monitor the Trump campaign.
This is not the first time that the Obama administration has been accused of spying on the Trump campaign.

You misspelled "THE FBI DID ITS JOB BY CONDUCTING A NORMAL, PERFECTLY LEGAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION OF A VERIFIED HoIS THREAT TO US NATIONAL SECURITY."https://t.co/bEdfIMm3BF

It's bigger than Watergate, but not for the reason the President thinks. https://t.co/y7oOuPfDqU
