Justice Dept.: No evidence to back up Trump's wiretapping claim
By Eric DuVall | Updated Sept. 2, 2017 at 4:51 PM Sept. 2 (UPI) -- In a Friday night court filing, the Justice Department said there was no evidence to support President Donald Trump's claim that former President Barack Obama ordered Trump Tower to be wiretapped.
The court filing stated there were "no records related to wiretaps as described" by Trump.
The allegation, which Trump made in March without any supporting evidence, caused a political firestorm that consumed Washington for weeks. Trump insisted the claim was backed up by evidence, but his administration never presented it publicly.
