The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, has asked the Justice Department to
reject President Trump’s claim that former President, Barack Obama had
ordered the wiretapping of his phones at the Trump Towers, senior
American officials said on Sunday.
Comey said that the claim is false and must be
corrected, because Trump has no evidence to back it up and it insinuates
that the F.B.I. broke the law, but the department has not responded to
Comey's request yet.
Comey refuting Trump’s claim shows a remarkable rebuke of a sitting
president, putting the nation’s top law enforcement officials in the
position of questioning the truthfulness of the leader of the free
world.
Comey is understandably worried about the potential attacks on F.B.I.'s
credibility if it's proven that indeed they wire tapped Trump Towers.
