Former Trump aide: ‘FBI is not the only Obama agency who came at the campaign’

A former Trump campaign aide claimed late Monday that a second government “informant” approached the Trump campaign.

Michael Caputo told Fox News the individual came to him and allegedly tried to plant themselves in the campaign.

“The FBI is not the only Obama agency who came at the campaign,” Caputo said on “The Ingraham Angle.”

“I know because they came at me,” he continued. “And I’m looking for clearance from my attorney to reveal this to the public.”

Caputo did not elaborate further.

Caputo’s claim of a second informant came hours after President Trump met with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray at the White House to discuss the president’s demand for an investigation into whether the FBI “infiltrated or surveilled” his campaign for political purposes.

Trump agreed with the decision that the Justice Department’s inspector general would “expand its current investigation to include any irregularities with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s or the Department of Justice’s tactics concerning the Trump Campaign,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

Sanders also said White House chief of staff John Kelly plans to “immediately set up a meeting” between top law enforcement officials and lawmakers on Capitol Hill to review the “highly classified” materials that representatives have sought about the informant.

Republicans, led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (Calif.), have in recent weeks sought access to documents that reveal the identity of the informant, even as intelligence officials have warned that doing so could threaten lives and national security.

Democrats have argued that Republican attacks on the FBI and Trump’s calls for an internal probe are an effort to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Caputo, a former communications adviser to the Trump campaign, met with Mueller’s team earlier this month.
