To let them spy on himself? How does that make sense?

No, to let them spy on America.

There are several instances of Trump going against his intelligence community, specifically in regards to Russia, to weaken America's cyber-defense. There are legitimate reasons to be concerned that he was being blackmailed by a foreign government to weaken America's institutions, and sow chaos and division.
