Barr says U.S. intel spied on Trump's 2016 campaign, Democrats push back

Barr, who was appointed by Trump, is already facing criticism by congressional Democrats for how he has handled the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report into the Russia probe and his comments about surveillance brought more derision from Democratic senators.Earlier on Wednesday, Trump levied a harsh attack on the launch of the federal investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, which he described as "an attempted coup" and treason.
