GOP lawmakers returning to Washington are signaling they intend to step up their campaign to look into alleged spying by FBI agents on President Trump's 2016 campaign. 

The effort comes as Democrats ramp up their own investigations into the Trump administration and could serve as a bit of GOP counterprogramming to put the spotlight on what Republicans contend is suspicious behavior under the Obama administration. 

Two Senate chairmen previewed the coming GOP efforts with a recent letter to Attorney General William Barr, who raised eyebrows when he publicly asserted he believed the Trump campaign was spied on and said he would review the intelligence community’s actions to ensure no improper surveillance occurred.

Democrats were surprised and angered Barr used the word "spying" to describe surveillance the FBI did during its investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, accusing him of promoting a GOP talking point.
