President Donald Trump does not accept an assertion from FBI Director James Comey that former President Barack Obama did not order an illegal wiretap of Trump Tower during last year’s presidential campaign, a White House spokeswoman said Monday.

Trump leveled the explosive accusation on Twitter over the weekend, delivering it without any evidence. Through a spokesman, Obama has flatly denied the charge, as has James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence under Obama. White House officials have yet to offer any proof to back Trump’s claim, instead suggesting that the matter should be investigated.

Doesn't the FBI Director serve under the pleasure of the President?

Trump ought to summon Comey to his office and demand an explanation.

And if he deems the explanation unsatisfactory, go look for another FBI Director.

And Comey can bring the transcripts over while he is at it.
