Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said on Monday that he has no concerns that members of President Trump's campaign team may have been surveilled.

"No," he said during an interview on Fox News when asked if he has concerns more evidence is now surfacing that shows there was "some level of surveillance of the Trump candidacy or transition."

"Any suggestion that the Obama administration was spying on Trump team — it's a distraction, it's a smoke bomb and it's been dismissed roundly."

Earlier this year, Trump claimed former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower ahead of the election.

Trump made the claims citing no evidence, but he and his team have since defended his allegations.

On Sunday, Trump tweeted that the "real story turns out to be SURVEILLANCE and LEAKING" and called for the leakers to be found.

Last month, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) told reporters and Trump that he had seen information that showed members of the Trump team had been incidentally surveilled during regular intelligence agency operations. He also said this information had been widely disseminated in intelligence circles.

Nunes, who met on the White House grounds one day before briefing Trump, bypassed his own committee to brief the president.
