Members of the House Intelligence Committee revealed Wednesday no evidence has been discovered yet that links former President Barack Obama to an alleged wire tap of Trump Tower. The allegations were made by President Donald Trump nearly two weeks ago in a series of tweets that accused the former president of committing the illegal act. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer seemlingly walked back on Trump's use of the word "wiretap," saying that "The President used the word wiretaps in quotes to mean, broadly, surveillance and other activities." Members of the Obama administration have vehemently denied the allegations. Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Republican Rep. Devin Nunes and ranking member Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff briefed members of the media on the committee's findings. Both say they're still waiting for evidence from the Justice Department backing up that claim. Schiff says he and Nunes are willing to take steps to compel the department to comply with their request if it refuses by the March 20 deadline they've given the Justice Department. "It deeply concerns me that the president would make such an accusation without basis," Schiff said at a Wednesday news conference. Nunes says he doesn't believe there was "an actual tap of Trump Tower" in New York. Nunes also says the committee is tussling with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence over whether the committee will be allowed to have the computer technology needed to go through CIA evidence about Russia's interference in the election. The leaders say FBI Director James Comey and the head of the National Security Agency will testify at a public hearing on March 20. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
