White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday he was almost certain Donald Trump had not spoken to FBI Director James Comey about the president’s claim, without evidence, that the previous administration wiretapped him during the 2016 campaign.

Spicer told reporters he was “almost 100 percent certain” Trump had not spoken to Comey since the Republican president claimed on Twitter on Saturday that former Democratic President Barack Obama ordered a wiretap at Trump Tower in New York. Comey has asked the Justice Department to reject that claim.

Spicer On Trump's Confidence In FBI Director Comey: Nothing Has Changed

By MATT SHUHAM Published MARCH 6, 2017, 2:31 PM EDT

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday that nothing had changed about Trump’s confidence in FBI Director James Comey, despite reports that Comey asked the Justice Department to refute Trump’s unsubstantiated claims that former President Obama had ordered that Trump be surveilled.

“There’s nothing that I have been told by him that would lead me to believe that anything is different than it was prior,” Spicer said, responding to one reporter who asked if Trump still had confidence in the FBI director.

Seemingly referring to reports that Comey directed the Justice Department to dispute Trump’s claims, Spicer said “I’m not aware that that occurred” and “I’m not aware that that actually happened.”

“To the best of my knowledge, I’m almost 100 percent certain that he has not” spoken with Comey about the allegations of wiretapping, Spicer said, referring to Trump.
