Donald Trump went on another Twitter rampage on Tuesday night, this time claiming that there was a “spy” embedded in his presidential campaign with the means to help his opponent Hillary Clinton get elected in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump tweeted:
“If the person placed very early into my campaign wasn’t a SPY put there by the previous Administration for political purposes, how come such a seemingly massive amount of money was paid for services rendered – many times higher than normal follow the money! The spy was there early in the campaign and yet never reported Collusion with Russia, because there was no Collusion. He was only there to spy for political reasons and to help Crooked Hillary win – just like they did to Bernie Sanders, who got duped!”

Trump has constantly, without evidence, claimed that the FBI sent a spy to his campaign for political reasons.
“A lot of people are saying they had spies in my campaign. If they had spies in my campaign, that would be a disgrace to this country,” Trump said. “It would be very illegal, aside from everything else.”
“I hope they weren’t,” Trump added, because “that would be unprecedented in the history of our country.”
Trump’s comments come after he urged the Department of Justice to investigate whether the FBI had used unwarranted surveillance to infiltrate his campaign during the 2016 election.
