Trump seizes on Barr’s ‘spying’ remark

President Trump said Thursday that he “absolutely” believes there was “unprecedented” spying on his campaign in 2016, a day after Attorney General William Barr made the assertion during testimony on Capitol Hill.

“I think what he said was absolutely true,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with the South Korean president.

“There was absolutely spying into my campaign,” he continued. “I’ll go a step further. In my opinion it was illegal spying, unprecedented spying and something that should never be allowed to happen in our country again.”
