Barack Obama Denies Donald Trump’s Wiretapping Claim

Barack Obama denies President Trumps claims that he tapped phones at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential election. A spokesperson for the former POTUS called Trump’s allegations, “simply false.”

“A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice,” Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said in a statement. “As part of this practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen.

The 70-year-old billionaire provided zero evidence to substantiate his accusations.
