Donald Trump took to Twitter Friday to fire another shot at the late John McCain, who he has long squabbled with in the public eye, Breitbart reports.
“Now that wasn’t very nice, was it?” Trump tweeted in response to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, who shared a report on McCain.
The report revealed that Christopher Steele — the former British intelligence officer behind the Steel dossier — used the late senator to funnel claims to former FBI Director James Comey. The finding was originally found in Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report into the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s 2016 campaign.
The controversial Steele dossier was found to contain “potentially serious problems” by the FBI and was still used as the basis for the FISA warrant to wiretap former Trump campaign official Carter Page. In addition, McCain brought the claims to Comey after the FBI dropped Steele as a source, although it’s unclear if McCain was aware of this fact at the time.
