Trump’s White House can’t provide evidence that the president was wiretapped

Meanwhile, FBI Director James Comey is mad about Trump's claims

It appears that President Donald Trump’s weekend tweets accusing Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential election did more than dominate the news cycle — they also annoyed FBI Director James Comey so much that he felt compelled to take the unprecedented move of speaking out against his own president.

Comey was reportedly “incredulous” when he learned over the weekend that Trump had accused Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower. Out of concern that Trump’s claims could erode institutional confidence in the FBI, as well as because he knew the allegations to be groundless, Comey asked the Department of Justice to join him in debunking Trump’s assertions. The Department of Justice — which is led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a staunch Trump ally — has not responded to his requests, which Comey has reportedly found very frustrating.

“Does he know of possibility there might be a confrontation and be fired by the President? Sure,” a source close to the situation told CNN. “Does he worry about it? No.”

Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer has so far refused to acknowledge Comey’s attempts to discredit the White House’s anti-Obama stories.
