House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said he believes the warrant used to spy on a member of the 2016 Trump campaign was "100 percent fraudulent" and called on President Trump to declassify all related information for the American public to see whether there was an effort to frame then-candidate Trump.

Speaking about the alleged use of an informant to spy on Trump's campaign during the Russia investigation, Nunes told Fox Nunes on Saturday "what could be even worse is if there were informants that were being run into [the] Trump campaign and their associates" before July 31 — the known start of inquiry.

While Nunes, in his capacity as intelligence chairman, has sought information related to the genesis of the investigation, and recently has referred dozens of names to his counterparts in the Judiciary and Oversight Committees to use their task force to expand the inquiry, the Justice Department has been resistant to fulfill all his demands.

Nunes said this clash could end if Trump got involved and declassify "pertinent parts" of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant used to spy on onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The DOJ and FBI first obtained a warrant to conduct surveillance on Page in October 2016. The warrant was subsequently renewed three times at 90-day intervals.

"The president of the United States is going to have to declassify all this information so the American public knows exactly what the counter intelligence resources that we have in this country — what they were used for," Nunes said.

The Republican majority of the House Intelligence Committee released a unclassified memo in February alleging the DOJ and FBI sought the authority to spy on Page using the infamous Trump dossier, which contains compromising, yet unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia. The memo alleged that agents failed to disclose to a federal judge that the research of dossier's author, ex-British spy Christopher Steele. At the time, Nunes conceded he did not personally read the underlying documents used to put together the memo, which earned him a round of criticism from his Democratic colleagues.
