(UTV|COLOMBO) – The US Department of Justice says it is expanding an internal inquiry after President Donald Trump suggested the FBI “infiltrated” his 2016 campaign, the BBC reported.
The department said on Monday it will look for any “political motivation” in its own inquiry into alleged Russian election meddling in the US.
Mr Trump later backed the move after meeting top justice and FBI officials at the White House.
He is angry that a confidential source was used during the investigation.
And he has said he wants to know whether a member of the Obama team ordered such a move.
But Democrats and members of the intelligence community have warned against unmasking a source because they say this puts lives at risk.
