On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump tweeted claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped phones in Trump Tower. The president provided no evidence, nor did he provide the source of the information.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer released a statement Sunday saying that Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity in the 2016 election, «congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016.»
