A Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee says in a new interview that she is “absolutely convinced” that the White House is behind what she called a “wild goose chase” that led to the committee chairman’s revelations that President Trump’s transition team was incidentally surveilled.
“I am absolutely convinced it started in the Oval Office,” Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told Politico on Saturday.
“There’s no question in my mind that the president, with the aid of his national security adviser staff, came up with some kind of a ruse to try and suggest there was some kind of validity” to Trump’s claims he had been wiretapped by President Obama, Speier said.
