Here’s a few things Trump has retweeted about this report:
You won't see this in headlines, because it proves EXACTLY what we've been saying.
FBI used knowingly false and dubious information in a FISA as an excuse to surveil American citizens in the Trump campaign. And kept using the same bad info in renewals!
Stunning abuse of power. https://t.co/lM2zdDONVI

The Inspector General’s report confirms what many of us feared: James Comey’s FBI ignored guidelines and rules in spying on President Trump’s campaign in 2016. (1/4)

We now know that within one week of the investigation opening, the FBI was surveilling the campaign and four specific individuals associated with it. (2/4)

The U.S. government’s powerful tools designed and authorized for international intelligence gathering were deployed to monitor the activities of a Presidential campaign.
This is a grave matter that should deeply trouble Americans of all political stripes. (3/4)
