Seething over Russia probe, Trump tears into ‘spygate’
President Donald Trump has branded his latest attempt to discredit the special counsel’s Russia investigation as “spygate,” part of a newly invigorated strategy embraced by his Republican colleagues to raise suspicions about the probe that has dogged his presidency almost since the start. Trump now is zeroing in on — and at times embellishing — reports that a longtime U.S. government informant approached members of his 2016 campaign during the presidential election in a possible bid to glean intelligence on Russian efforts to sway the election. Trump’s latest broadsides set the stage for an unusual decision by the White House to arrange access to classified documents for just two Republican House members, both Trump allies, in a briefing expected Thursday, as Trump and his supporters in Congress press for information on the outside informant.
