As seen on The O'Reilly Factor
Congressman Peter King (R-N.Y.) called the revelation
that President Trump's transition team was identified during incidental
surveillance activity "extremely significant."
King said the fact that Trump's name appeared in the
reports obtained by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes
(R-Calif.) was one of a few violations that were committed.
Trump nor his associates were being wiretapped, King
said. Instead the surveillance focused on foreign individuals who referenced
them.

Woodward: Surveillance Report Likely 'Highly Classified
Gossip' About Trump
Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward said that
allegations from a report that say President Trump's transition team was named
in surveillance reports of foreign individuals would be "gross
violations."
A couple of diplomats who were legitimately wiretapped
were talking about meeting Trump or his team, Woodward said on "The
O'Reilly Factor."

House Intel Chairman: Trump’s Communications Possibly
Picked Up By ‘Incidental’ Surveillance
NBC News
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes told
reporters Wednesday he has seen reports from the U.S. intelligence community
that showed communication from members of President Trump's transition team —
and possibly from the president himself — were incidentally collected as part
of a broader surveillance effort.
The collections were not related to investigations into
Russia and its alleged connections to the Trump campaign.
Nunes told reporters the collection appeared to be
"normal" and "all legally collected foreign intelligence
under" the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA.
He would not identify the source of this material and
implied he had seen it independently. He said he briefed House Speaker Paul
Ryan about the documents Wednesday morning.
It's not clear if he showed the material to the ranking
member on the House Intelligence Committee, Democrat Adam Schiff. A spokesman
for Schiff initially declined to comment.
Nunes also said he was going to the White House tin the
afternoon to brief President Trump, a planned visit which White House Press
Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed.
Nunes said he was "alarmed" by the findings.
"I believe it was all done legally. I think it was
all obtained legally. The question is was it masked," Nunes told
reporters.
Nunes also said he did not share the information with the
ranking Democratic member of the intelligence committee, Rep. Adam Schiff,
before holding the press conference.
Spicer called Nunes' claims a "startling
revelation" and lambasted what he saw as the media's
"presumptive" tone of negativity toward the administration on the
issue.
