Attorney General William Barr told Congress that he will be looking into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and revealed that he believes “spying did occur” on the 2016 Trump campaign.

Speaking before the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday, Barr testified that it was his “obligation” to investigate whether the federal government abused its surveillance powers.

Reports indicated that Barr had assembled a team to investigate the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the ranking member of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee, grilled Barr about why he was looking in to the start of the investigation and forming a “special team.”

“You’re not suggesting that spying occurred?” Shaheen asked.

“I think spying did occur,” he replied after a pause.
