House Intel: Trump's personal communications may have been collected
Keep in mind, this article comes from CNN:
A house intel chairman for the United States said that Trump's data may have been collected due to 'incidental' and 'legal' collection under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The news comes after much controversy over whether or not Trump was wiretapped when he tweeted that he received info that Trump Tower was affected.
A step in the direction of finding out what happened, perhaps?

Nunes said at a news conference he discovered the potential surveillance of Trump himself while reviewing intelligence reports, but said it was not related to Russia.
"This is a normal, incidental collection, based on what I could collect," Nunes said. "This appears to be all legally collected foreign intelligence under" the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Nunes said he alerted House Speaker Paul Ryan about the collection and is traveling to the White House Wednesday afternoon.
