Facts First: Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz found no evidence the FBI 'broke into' the Trump campaign while investigating the campaign's relationship with Russia
Washington House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Fox News on Sunday:"If you pause for one moment and you read this IG report by Horowitz. Here's the FBI; they broke into President Trump -- at the time candidate Trump's -- campaign, spied on him, and then they covered it up. It is a modern-day Watergate." He added,"They broke into his campaign by bringing people into it. They have been trying to cover it up for the whole time.
McCarthy, a Republican congressman from California, used similar language when he tweeted out the video clip:"The FBI broke into President Trump's campaign, spied on him, then tried to cover it up. This is a modern-day Watergate." The tweet went viral, generating more than 32,000 retweets by Monday morning. But the very inspector general report McCarthy urged people to read as proof of his"broke into" allegation specifically debunks that allegation.
