The alleged abuses by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court are worse than Watergate, according to former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone Roger Jason StoneThe agony of justice Our Constitution is under attack by Attorney General William Barr Justice IG investigating Stone sentencing: report MORE.

"I think the president should push ahead aggressively with the declassification of all of the information surrounding the FISA warrants, which essentially was the politically motivated spying on the Trump campaign, using the authority and power of government. That's an abuse of power far worse than Watergate," Stone told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball in an interview on "Rising" that aired Friday.

Rosenstein called the Times article "factually incorrect," and some officials defending Rosenstein said his comments were made in jest.

Stone has not been charged with a crime in connection with Mueller's probe, which is being overseen by Rosenstein, but has said he expects to be indicted.

James Comey Trump last week directed the sensitive documents related to the Russia probe to be declassified, including portions of a surveillance application that helped the FBI monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The documents also include "all text messages relating to the Russia investigation" from former FBI Directorand other top federal officials.

However, the president later delayed the release of the documents, saying "key allies" expressed concerns of the declassification.

Some House Republicans have argued that the FISA warrant for Page was wrongly obtained because it pulled information from the unverified dossier on Trump compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele during the 2016 campaign.
