The White House has made Donald Trump’s Tweets official.

On Saturday, he released a series of tweets accusing the Obama Administration of wiretapping the Trump Tower during the presidential transition, ostensibly to check for “Russian Ties.”

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

On Sunday, they made their concerns official, releasing a statement officially requesting an investigation into the alleged wiretapping.

“Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling. President Donald J. Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused in 2016. Neither the White House nor the President will comment further until such oversight is conducted.”

Democrats have claimed that if there was an investigation – or wiretapping – of the Trump headquarters, it was done with the consent of a judge, in the form of a FISA warrant.

But speaking on “Meet The Press” Sunday, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said there was no wiretap authorized against Donald Trump or his campaign during his tenure.

“There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president elect at the time as a candidate or against his campaign,” Clapper said on “Meet the Press.”

He added that he would “absolutely” have been informed if the FBI had sought or received such a warrant to wiretap Trump or his campaign.

“I can deny it,” Clapper continued.

What this means is either Donald Trump is wrong, or Obama authorized the wiretap outside of legitimate and legal means.

We will soon know.
