Various media reports have reported that the United States intelligence agencies wiretapped Paul Manafort from 2016 to 2017, including during his brief stint as campaign manager of Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016. The snooping was reportedly authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).
When asked if the conversations between Trump and Manafort were picked up by the wiretapping, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told a CNN anchor on Sept. 20 it was “possible.”
