In June of last year, the Obama Justice Department filed a request with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to permit surveillance of some of Trump’s associates, and perhaps Trump himself, on the grounds that they were possibly engaging in espionage on behalf of the Russian government. Trump himself was “named” in the application, although it is unclear if he was the target of the surveillance. In any event, the FISA court - which is famously generous when it comes to government requests - denied the petition.
In October, the Obama Justice Department submitted a second, tailored request to the FISA court. This request did not name Donald Trump, and it was granted.

Needless to say, this situation is unsustainable. If there were legitimate fears that associates of the now-president were foreign agents, the president and the public deserve to know. Likewise, if that was simply a pretext for surveillance of Barack Obama’s political opponents, the president and the public deserve to know. However this turns out, the situation is extraordinary, and transparency is in order.
