incidentally, it was reported in the news... even mentioned by Hillary in a tweet well before Trump said anything. the news reports about the FISA warrants were very specific. New York Times and others also ran with the story. Not saying it's true... but its clearly not a Trump invention.
"The Guardian has reported that the FBI applied for a Foreign Intelligence Service Act (FISA) warrant last summer to monitor members of the Trump campaign, but was denied in its initial attempt. Last November, former British MP and openly anti-Trump journalist Louise Mensch reported that the FBI had succeeded in its second request for a FISA warrant, which was later confirmed by the BBC."
And either the warrants were issued or they weren't. Simple to know. I would presume the President of the USA would be able to know....
Regardless, these "facts" were out there well BEFORE Trump said anything... so its disingenuous to pretend Trump woke up one morning and invented it all.
