President Trump has been given evidence showing a paper trail from Barack Obama to a FISA court confirming that he was illegally wiretapped by the former President. Obama obtained authorization from the court to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign under the guise of conducting a phoney “national security investigation”. The new evidence will likely result in a criminal investigation into the misuse of the FISA process by the Obama administration and Department of Justice.

Congress has opened an investigation into the FBI’s ties with a disgraced former British spy who supplied a fake Russian dossier to try and bring down Trump’s presidency. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassly is leading an inquiry into claims that the FBI hired former MI6 spy Christopher Steele to produce unverified and salacious claims about President Trump. In a scathing letter to FBI Director James Comey, Grassley claims that Steele was a Democrat plant tasked with stopping Trump from taking office.
Judicial Watch issued a lawsuit against the Deep State on Monday, demanding to see records about the illegal wiretapping of Michael Flynn’s telephone line. The government watchdog filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the CIA, DOJ, and DOT seeking all records relating to the investigation of General Flynn’s communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. According to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, the Deep State actively sought to oust Flynn, using illegal and unconstitutional methods which ultimately resulted in proving his innocence.
