Trump suggests FBI may have infiltrated his campaign
WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump on Friday escalated his attacks on the Justice Department, suggesting that the FBI may have planted or recruited an informant in his 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump stopped short of accusing the FBI of spying on his campaign, instead citing unnamed reports that at least one FBI representative was "implanted" for political purposes into his campaign.
"If true - all time biggest political scandal!" Trump said in a tweet.
Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, now one of Trump's personal attorneys, almost immediately undercut Trump's speculation about an informant. "I don't know for sure, nor does the president, if there really was one," he told CNN.
"For a long time we've been told there was some kind of infiltration," Giuliani said. "At one time, the president thought it was a wiretap."
