The release of previously classified surveillance applications, or so-called FISA warrants, by the Justice Department over the weekend set off a new round of political fighting over the FBI's monitoring of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

In a series of tweets, President Trump said the release confirms that the Justice Department misled the courts in order to spy on his campaign. Democrats and some Republicans disagree with the president's interpretation.

One of Mr. Trump's top critics in Congress, ranking member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, Adam Schiff of California, joins us now.

Congressman Schiff, so much to ask you about, but let's start with that interpretation.

The president is saying this filing by the Justice Department proves what he's been saying all along, that this was politically motivated, going after Carter Page, that it was based on a political — in his words, a political witch-hunt.
