President Donald Trump says he will demand an inquiry into whether his election campaign was infiltrated for political purposes.
In a tweet, Trump said he wanted to know whether his predecessor's administration ordered such a move.
The Witch Hunt finds no Collusion with Russia - so now they’re looking at the rest of the World. Oh’ great!

The request, which will be made officially tomorrow, comes after US media reports suggested that the FBI had an informant meeting campaign aides.
There is already an investigation into all aspects relating to the campaign.
Trump's demand came after a series of tweets denouncing a "witch hunt" that, he said, had found no collusion with Russia.
I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!
