Marco Rubio called the report that revealed new allegations surrounding the Clinton campaign and its spying on former President Donald Trump \u201cone of the greatest political scandals in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to reports <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/12\/clinton-campaign-paid-infiltrate-donald-trump-servers-white-house-durham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released<\/a> Friday by Special Counsel John Durham, Clinton campaign lawyer <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/17\/hillary-clinton-lawyer-dnc-michael-sussman-lying-fbi-durham-probe-robert-mueller-trump-russia-collusion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Sussmann<\/a> worked alongside tech executive Rodney Jaffe to infiltrate the servers at Trump Tower and later the White House in hopes of linking Trump to Russia in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a big deal. It\u2019s shocking to me that this is not receiving more coverage in the press, I don\u2019t think any of the Sunday shows covered it,\u201d Rubio told Fox News\u2019 Bret Baier Monday. \u201cWhat we\u2019re talking about here is not simply the probe using data scientists to make up a story or links between Trump and Russia, but the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApparently there was a private company that had a contract to manage servers for the President of the United States and the White House and they were sharing information to help build a narrative for a political operation. If this is all proven true, it would be one of the greatest political scandals in American history. It would be a crime, no doubt about it and it would tell you why these people think they can get away with it. They think they can get away with it because the media will not report on it.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>The Florida senator said if the political affiliations were swapped, the media would cover the report extensively. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/14\/jim-jordan-democrats-trump-spying-durham-clinton-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018As Wrong As It Gets\u2019: Rep.

Rubio responded that it \u201cis difficult to believe\u201d the stories reported on Trump due to the media\u2019s tendency to publish reports about the former president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s true or not because they\u2019ve made up so many stories about Donald Trump over the years that things that I know are just flat out untrue,\u201d the senator said. \u201cBut nowadays in mainstream media, you just need one source to smear Donald Trump or maybe you don\u2019t even need that. So it\u2019s hard to tell anymore what really happened and what didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen at least a dozen things said about Trump that turned out to be complete lies, somebody can just make it up and some of the media just run with it as if it\u2019s true,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve seen books with things in there that I know were not true and they\u2019re widely reported as established facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senator said that he does not believe \u201cit is a crime\u201d to have the documents stored and if the process was not handled, then \u201csomething needs to be done.\u201d He also expressed skepticism to the allegations of Trump flushing documents down the toilet.<\/p>\n<p>Officials from the National Archives recently had to travel to Mar-a-Lago to retrieve <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/07\/trump-love-letter-records-kim-jong-un-obama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">documents<\/a> from the former president.
