President Trump was asked on Thursday how he felt about Attorney General William P. Barr’s assertion before the Senate Appropriations Committee that the government had “spied” on Trump’s campaign. Four Trump campaign staffers attracted attention from the FBI over the course of 2016. There was Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who was with the campaign from March to August. They were investigating Page, Papadopoulos and Manafort as individuals and seeking to determine if any of them were working with Russia. Why didn’t the government wiretap Trump Tower, where the campaign was based, if the campaign was actually the target?
