House intel chair briefs Trump on ‘inappropriate’ intelligence collection

The chairman of the House intelligence committee has briefed US President Donald Trump on the possible monitoring of Trump on “incidental” intelligence collection, saying some seems “inappropriate”

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said Wednesday that the communications of Trump transition officials — possibly including Trump himself — may have been “monitored” after the election as part of an “incidental collection.”

Nunes said the intercepted communications do not appear to be related to the ongoing FBI investigation into Trump associates’ contacts with Russia. He said he believes the intelligence collections were done legally.
