    Israel accused of planting mysterious spy devices near the White House
    The likely Israeli spying efforts were uncovered during the Trump presidency, several former top U.S. officials said.

    he U.S. government concluded within the past two years that Israel was most likely behind the placement of cellphone surveillance devices that were found near the White House and other sensitive locations around Washington, according to three former senior U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

    But unlike most other occasions when flagrant incidents of foreign spying have been discovered on American soil, the Trump administration did not rebuke the Israeli government, and there were no consequences for Israel’s behavior, one of the former officials said...

    Is that suppose to be news? I thought everyone knows this.

    Just do a search on Israeli spies in the US.

    One example,

    They have been doing this probably since the founding of Israel.

    Trump tells me that spying undermines the trust in the relationship between leaders.

    Yeap.

    The real story here is

    - the POTUS using non secure cell phone and thus is vulnerable to these type of spying
    - the US said whatever, no biggie, no accountability, no punishment, zip
    - the POTUS continue to not believe his own intel... in this case because he is special and special people do not get spied on by great friends

    But look on the positive side - Trump has started something new and worthy. If you are friends, we won’t spy on you. Starting with Putin and Netanyahu. Trend setter. Strong leadership.
