Sanders: "We hear your pain" should be Dem message
WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBS News) – Sen. Marco Rubio is refuting President Donald Trump’s latest claims that his campaign was being “illegally” spied on following the FBI’s release of heavily redacted documents detailing the surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page . The Florida Republican, speaking with “Face the Nation” on Sunday, said that “anything and everything” he’s seen while serving on the Senate Intelligence Committee indicates the FBI “did not spy on the campaign.” “You have an individual here who has openly bragged about his ties to Russia and Russians and he’s never — I don’t think Carter Page has ever said he’s a spy, but he has certainly talked about it,” Rubio said. When asked if the information collected from Page using a FISA court order was justified, Rubio told “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan that the FBI had “reason to believe” Page was a person of interest given his openness about his contacts with Russians. “I think that’s different from spying on a campaign, in fact, that the Trump campaign has said on numerous occasions that Carter Page was not a major player in their campaign,” Rubio said. “So, you know, based on that statement alone you would conclude that yes, they were looking into this one individual but an individual the campaign themselves said was not a big part of their efforts. Therefore I wouldn’t consider that spying on a campaign.” Rubio’s comments come in contrast with the president’s tweets Sunday morning, in which he claimed that Page was surveilled “for the political gain of Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC.” He claimed that the documents “with little doubt that the Department of Justice and FBI misled the courts.” Looking more & more like the Trump Campaign for President was illegally being spied upon (surveillance) for the political gain of Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Ask her how that worked out – she did better with Crazy Bernie. Republicans must get tough now. An illegal Scam! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2018 Andrew McCarthy – “I said this could never happen. This is so bad that they should be looking at the judges who signed off on this stuff, not just the people who gave it. It is so bad it screams out at you.” On the whole FISA scam which led to the rigged Mueller Witch Hunt! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2018 . @PeteHegseth on @FoxNews “Source #1 was the (Fake) Dossier. Yes, the Dirty Dossier, paid for by Democrats as a hit piece against Trump, and looking for information that could discredit Candidate #1 Trump. Carter Page was just the foot to surveil the Trump campaign…” ILLEGAL! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 22, 2018 Page has repeatedly denied acting as an agent for the Russian government. His surveillance has become fodder for conservatives who have criticized the Justice Department and FBI for wiretapping Page. (© 2018 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.)

Following a news conference where President Trump and President Putin each took questions, CBS News chief White House correspondent Major Garrett said the summit between the two leaders accomplished nothing meaningful about any hot-button foreign policy issue for either country. Garrett also said Trump’s answers about Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, “in no way line up with one another.” “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan added that Trump’s comments were a “punch in the gut” to U.S. intel services.
