US Justice Dept's IG report released Monday rebuts Pres. Trump's regular depiction of a politically biased plot against him. Responding to the report Monday, President Trump shared his view that the report was 'far worse than I ever thought possible.'
"It is a disgrace what has happened with respect to the things that were done to our country. It should never again happen," said Trump, adding the findings were"far worse than I would have ever thought possible."
The report said the surveillance of Page, which began in October 2016, did not spark the FBI's Russia investigation, which began in July 2016 after an Australian diplomat reported that a different Trump aide had learned from a Russian agent that the Russian government possessed thousands of Democratic emails.
"We found that the FBI did not have information corroborating the specific allegations against Carter Page in Steele's reporting when it relied upon his reports in the first application or subsequent renewal applications," the report said. Just months into his presidency. Trump claimed that President Barack Obama had his phones lines tapped in Trump Tower, a claim he said earlier this year"turned out to be true," despite no evidence of any such action. The report released Monday said that was not the case.
