Rep. Matt Gaetz said on Monday "Compelling evidence" of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse is coming out in a matter of days or weeks.
"I believe we are days, if not weeks, away for the most in compelling evidence in the biggest political scandal in American history," Gaetz said on Fox News.
Gaetz said this means the government only presented evidence that would cast Trump campaign associates in a "Bad light."
"They had evidence presumably that was against Papadopoulos and for him. What they won't be able to defend is that they never presented that evidence to the FISA court," Gaetz said.
All this comes as Attorney General William Barr says he is working closely with Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz in his FISA abuse probe, which is expected to wrap up in the coming weeks, and has tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham with reviewing the origins of the counterintelligence investigation into Trump's campaign.
"This is what Attorney General Barr means when he talks about them putting their thumb on the scale. The government has an obligation before a secret court with no defense attorney to present all of the exculpatory evidence that they are provided, all of the exculpatory evidence," Gaetz said.
With the expectation of the transcript materials coming out, Gaetz said former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA Director John Brennan "Are all going to say Papadopoulos might've known he was being surveilled when he said none of this stuff was actually happening. But there is still no excuse for why they didn't go before court."
