Republicans ask Trump for proof of wiretaps IBTimes US


..............Oklahoma congressman Tom Cole is the first member of the GOP to suggest Trump should apologise for his comments. Trump has still not revealed any evidence to back his claims.

In comments carried by The Hill, Cole told reporters: " I see no indication that's true. It's not a charge that I would ever have ever made, and frankly unless he can produce some pretty compelling proof, then I think President Obama is owed an apology.

"If he didn't do it, we shouldn't be reckless in accusations that he did," he added.

............................

White House press secretary Sean Spicer tried to play down Trump's accusations, however.

"The president has already been very clear that he didn't mean specifically wiretapping," he said.

"He had it in quotes. So I think to fall back on that is a false premise. That's not what he said. He was very clear when he talked about it yesterday."

1. Wow! There is one Republican with a shred of decency and honesty. Pleasantly surprised, although one

leaves a very long way to go.

2. He Won't

the best that orange boy will do is like what he did with the birther nonsense:

"Obama didn't wiretap Trump Tower. Period."

Of course, that is not good enough.
