Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, said the White House was attempting to deflect focus away from investigations into possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Clapper?s comments contradicted contentions made by Trump in tweets on Saturday that President Barack Obama had had the Republican?s ?wires tapped in Trump Tower just before? the 2016 presidential election.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said on Sunday there was no wiretap activity against President Donald Trump or his campaign by the Obama administration, as Trump suggested on Saturday, and no court order allowing it.
Trump relied on reports in conservative media, including Breitbart News, according to a person familiar with the situation.
?Rather than Russia, we?re talking about, did President Obama do thus and so,? Pelosi said on CNN?s ?State of the Union.??It?s called a wrap-up smear,? Pelosi said of the wiretapping claims.
