Adam Schiff: Trump knows it's 'patently untrue' there was spy on campaign

California Rep. Adam Schiff alleged Sunday that President Trump knowingly spread false information about there being an FBI spy within his campaign.

Trump wrote on Twitter last week that it would be “bigger than Watergate” if there was an “embedded informant” on the campaign, and tweeted a quote that “Apparently the DOJ put a Spy in the Trump Campaign.” Subsequent reporting indicated the informant was Cambridge University professor Stefan Halper, who met with campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos, and with Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis.
