The White House on Friday declined to say whether President Trump would apologize to former President Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaGOP senator blocks Schumer resolution aimed at Biden probe as tensions run high D-Day for Trump: September 29 Obama says making a voting plan is part of 'how to quarantine successfully' MORE if no evidence is produced to back up Trump's wiretapping claims.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer was asked by ABC reporter Jonathan Karl if Trump would apologize if the Justice Department does not produce evidence of Obama ordering wiretapping of Trump or his associates, a claim Trump made on Twitter last weekend without providing any evidence.

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” Spicer said. “I think it's important to see where that goes and I don’t want to prejudge their work at this time.”

“I’m not going to get into a series of hypotheticals,” he said when pressed by Karl.

Leaders of the House Intelligence Committee have asked the Justice Department for evidence — including applications, orders, or warrants — related to Trump's wiretapping claims.

Trump alleged on Twitter last weekend that Obama ordered his “wires tapped” at Trump Tower ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

“Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” Trump tweeted early Saturday morning.

The White House has not provided any proof to bolster the claims, instead pointing to media reports.

On Tuesday, Spicer said that Trump would not withdraw the claim, following reports that FBI Director James Comey had asked the Justice Department to publicly refute Trump’s accusations.
