President Trump in an early morning tweet on Thursday quoted conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who said the FBI should have told Trump about concerns of Russian attempts to infiltrate his campaign.

“RUSH LIMBAUGH ‘If the FBI was so concerned, and if they weren’t targeting Trump, they should have told Trump. If they were really concerned about the Russians infiltrating a campaign (hoax), then why not try to stop it? Why not tell Trump? Because they were pushing this scam,'” Trump tweeted.

Multiple government officials told NBC News, however, that Trump was warned after he became the Republican presidential nominees that Russia and other foreign adversaries would probably try to spy on an infiltrate his campaign.

Trump in recent weeks has claimed without evidence that the FBI planted a mole in his campaign and sought to spy on his team for political purposes.
