President Donald Trump told reporters Wednesday he feels vindicated
after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes' revelation that
he has seen reports from the U.S. intelligence community showing
communication from members of the transition team — and possibly from
the president himself — were "incidentally" collected as part of a
broader surveillance effort.
Nunes said he was "alarmed" by the findings
and trekked to the White House Wednesday afternoon to personally brief
President Trump.
"What I've read bothers me," Nunes told
reporters outside the White House after sharing his findings with the
president. "And I think it should bother the president himself and his
team because I think some of it seems to be inappropriate."
"I appreciate him coming over," Trump said when asked by reporters about the visit.
Earlier in the week, Nunes said evidence was
so far lacking for the president's claims that former President Barack
Obama illegally ordered a wiretap of Trump Tower before the November
election. On Monday, FBI Director James Comey, in testimony before Congress Monday, refuted Trump's claim that Obama wiretapped his communications.
