May 27th 2018 2:02PMDemocratic Representative Adam Schiff was among those briefed. Speaking on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, he said, "There is no evidence to support that spy theory. This is just a piece of propaganda the president wants to put out and repeat."
Republican Senator Marco Rubio told the same program that so far he has seen no evidence to support the president's assertions about a campaign "spy."
"What I have seen so far is an FBI effort to learn more about individuals with a history of bragging about links to Russia that pre-exist the campaign. If those people were operating near my office or my campaign, I'd want them investigated," said Rubio, who ran unsuccessfully against Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary campaign.
"If it turns out to be something different, we want to know about it. But it is the FBI's job to investigate counterintelligence," Rubio said.
...and from Fox, 5-29-18:
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said the FBI acted appropriately when it used an informant to gather information about Donald Trump campaign advisers who allegedly had suspicious contacts linked to Russia prior to the 2016 election.
“I am even more convinced that the FBI did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do when they got the information they got, and that it has nothing to do with Donald Trump,” Gowdy said Tuesday during an interview on Fox News.
