He sure did.
This Fake Yapper segment on Fake News and "Spying on the President" didn't age well.

Yeah, jeez !
It's almost as if they were erroneously perceiving Trump to be a dishonest and untrustworthy low integrity person with some very questionable connections.
It's wrong of them to just assume this is true based on little more than hundreds of examples of Trump's behavior.

I hope you understand that this type of personal judgement of a public official candidate is not their job. Furthermore, barring any actual evidence acting on their pre-conceptions is deeply illegal.
Can we agree? Or will you stick your fingers in your ears even while the perp walks happen (cause they're coming)
And that has taken them back to March 21, 2016, when candidate Donald Trump met with the editorial board of the Washington Post.
At the time of that meeting, Trump had been under criticism for not having the sort of lists of distinguished advisers that most top-level campaigns routinely assemble. That was particularly true in the area of foreign policy. A frustrated Trump ordered his team to compile a list of foreign-affairs advisers.
Trump was preparing to announce his advisory board when he met with the Post. The paper's publisher asked Trump if he would reveal the names of his new team.
"Well, I hadn't thought of doing it, but if you want I can give you some of the names," Trump said. He then read a brief list, among them Page and Papadopoulos.
Trump's announcement did not go unnoticed at the FBI and Justice Department. The bureau knew Page from a previous episode in which Russian agents had tried, unsuccessfully, to recruit him. It's not clear what the FBI knew about the others. But then-Director James Comey and number-two Andrew McCabe personally briefed Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the list of newly-named Trump foreign policy advisers, including Page, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
Lynch told the House Intelligence Committee that she, Comey, and McCabe discussed whether to provide a "defensive briefing" to the Trump campaign. That would entail having an FBI official meet with a senior campaign official "to alert them to the fact that … there may be efforts to compromise someone with their campaign," Lynch said.
