Sean Spicer starts international incident blaming British intelligence for Trump's wiretapping lies






Imagine how pathetic Donald Trump looks around the world, when attempts by Sean Spicer to cover up his lies become the number one news story.

UK Top News Story - British Intelligence has dismissed Sean Spicer's claims as "utterly ridiculous."

Sky News Top Story

GCHQ has dismissed a claim that British spies were employed to bug Trump Tower as "utterly ridiculous".

The accusation was made by US media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano - then repeated by White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

Mr Spicer was speaking after the US Congress rubbished Mr Trump's claim the Obama administration "tapped his wires" before the election.

He said the president "stands by" his claim.

BBC News Top Story

Britain's communications intelligence agency GCHQ has issued a statement denying it wiretapped Donald Trump during the US presidential campaign.

The unusual move by the agency came after White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer cited claims first made on US TV channel Fox News earlier this week.

GCHQ responded by saying the allegations were "nonsense, utterly ridiculous and should be ignored".

ITV TOP NEWS STORY


One of Britain's leading spy agencies has angrily denied claims - suggested by the White House press secretary - that it helped former president Barack Obama spy on Donald Trump.

In a very rare public statement, a spokesman for GCHQ told ITV News that any suggestion it was involved in spying on Mr Trump "was utterly ridiculous and should be ignored”.

The strongly-worded denial came shortly after Sean Spicer repeated an unsubstantiated and explosive allegation - first made by a Fox News analyst - that Barack Obama used British spies to watch Donald Trump on his behalf to ensure "there were no American fingerprints on it".

.....is in that special place where 45 keeps his proof O's birth certificate.

There are no words for how dangerous and ugly this all is.

The longer the Repugs allow him to stay unchallenged the more they are utterly complicit with his mad recklessness.

I doubt if any of our allies will come to our aid.
We will be in deep Trump shit.

I hope he's removed and given a life sentence in a max prison because he's a danger to the nation.
