Joe Biden said President Donald Trump should apologize to former President Barack Obama for his accusation that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower.

“Any gentleman would,” the former vice president said.


Obama, via a spokesperson, denied that he wiretapped Trump Tower after the current president tweeted the accusation. FBI Director James Comey this week also testified that there's no evidence the Obama administration surveilled Trump during the leadup to the e2016 election.

Biden spoke with reporters after attending the Democrats' rally defending Obamacare on the steps of the Capitol.

The former vice president also addressed the “romance” between the Trump administration and Russia. He questioned Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's decision to meet with Russia before meeting with America's NATO allies.

“What in the hell are we doing?” Biden said.
