President Trump slammed officials at the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) on Saturday over a report from a conservative watchdog group about the warrants to surveil former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
Trump pointed to a report from the conservative group Judicial Watch that said the court overseeing Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) requests held no hearings on the applications targeting Page.
In a series of tweets, Trump accused the FBI and broader Justice Department of being "completely out to lunch" when it came to fighting corruption and supposed "deep state" elements within the government.ADVERTISEMENT" 'It is astonishing that the FISA courts couldn’t hold hearings on Spy Warrants targeting Donald Trump. It isn’t about Carter Page, it’s about the Trump Campaign. You’ve got corruption at the DOJ & FBI,' " Trump wrote on Twitter, quoting Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
" 'The leadership of the DOJ & FBI are completely out to lunch in terms of exposing and holding those accountable who are responsible for that corruption,' ” he added.
