US Congress rubbishes Trump’s Obama bugging claim

Donald Trump’s accusation that his office was bugged by the Obama administration during the election campaign has been comprehensively rubbished by the US Congress.
In a statement, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence leaders Richard Burr and Mark Warner said:
“Based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016.”

But White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Thursday the US president maintained the allegation, adding: “He stands by it.”

The Senate rebuttal comes two weeks after Mr Trump wrote on Twitter: “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory,” and went on to claim nothing was found.

On Wednesday the leaders of the House Intelligence Committee said they have yet to see any evidence of wiretapping, and House Speaker Paul Ryan insisted that “no such wiretap existed”.
