House Freedom Caucus Chairman said on Wednesday it is very likely that undercover FBI sources taped members of the Trump campaign.
"There's a strong suggestion that confidential human sources actually taped members within the Trump campaign," Meadows told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball and Ned Ryun on "Rising."
Various House Republicans, including Meadows, have pushed for the declassification of portions of a surveillance application that helped the FBI monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Some House Republicans have argued that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant for Page was wrongly obtained because it pulled information from the unverified dossier on Trump compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele during the 2016 campaign.
"There was a suggestion that there was as many as five different people that perhaps came under the surveillance of the and FBI in the early days of the Trump transition and campaign, and I think that we need to get answers to that," Meadows said.
Trump directed the classified documents to be released last month, but later delayed the release of the documents, saying "Key allies" expressed concerns of the declassification.
Meadows said he was still optimistic that Trump would declassify the documents.
