President Donald Trump demanded that the GOP unify to pass a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) bill on Tuesday, even though he claimed to be “a victim of the worst and most illegal abuse of FISA in our Nation’s History.”

“I am working very hard with our Great Speaker, Mike Johnson, along with Chairman Jim Jordan and Chairman Rick Crawford, to get a clean extension of FISA 702 through the House of Representatives this week.

I am asking Republicans to UNIFY, and vote together on the test vote to bring a clean Bill to the floor. We need to stick together when this Bill comes before the House Rules Committee today to keep it CLEAN!” announced Trump in a stemwinder of a Truth Social post.

He continued:

I was a victim of the worst and most illegal abuse of FISA in our Nation’s History, by Radical Left Lunatics, who lied to the FISA Court to spy on my 2016 Presidential Campaign in their attempt to RIG the Election in favor of Crooked Hillary Clinton. Their use of this instrument in the 2020 Presidential Election was even worse!
