Attorney general William Barr told a Senate panel Wednesday that the FBI did spy on the Trump campaign but said he has not yet determined whether there was a proper pretext for that surveillance.
"I think spying did occur," Barr said during a hearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee. "But the question is whether it was adequately predicated and I am not suggesting that it wasn't adequately predicated. … I am not suggesting those rules were violated, but I think it is important to look at that. And I am not talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly."
"I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal – it's a big deal," he added.
