(CNN) On Tuesday, James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, went on "The View" -- weird, right? -- to talk about President Donald Trump and the intelligence community. During that interview, this exchange happened between Clapper and co-host Joy Behar:BEHAR: "So I ask you, was the FBI spying on Trump's campaign?" They were spying on, a term I don't particularly like, but on what the Russians were doing. Trying to understand were the Russians infiltrating, trying to gain access, trying to gain leverage or influence which is what they do."
