WATCH: Barr says ‘I think spying did occur’ on Trump campaign

Attorney General William Barr told senators Wednesday that he believes "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign but "the question is whether it was adequately predicated."

"Spying on a political campaign is a big deal," Barr said.

The attorney general also said he would not redact information from special counsel Robert Mueller's report to protect the president. But Barr, in explaining his rationale for which parts of the Mueller report he plans to redact, said he might redact information to protect private third parties.
