President Donald Trump late Saturday demanded Justice Department give members of Congress the documents related to an FBI informant who had contacted campaign officials during the 2016 election.
"If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal," Mr. Trump Tweeted.
It is also the latest Tweet from Trump calling upon Justice Department to give Congress documents related to the Russian probe.
On Friday, multiple media outlets reported an FBI informant met with Trump campaign officials George Papadopoulos and Carter Page regarding their alleged Russia Times.
The Washington Post reported the informant also met with Trump co-chairman Sam Clovis.
The New York Times said the informant was "An American academic who teaches in Britain," but said it would not name the person to "Preserve their safety." In addition, CNN reported the informant has been an FBI and CIA source "For years."
Rudy Giuliani, who is serving as the president's attorney, told CNN Friday morning that he didn't know for sure if the FBI had embedded an informant in the Trump campaign.
