A US congressman has given a withering response to Donald Trump's claims that Barack Obama had his offices in New York "wiretapped".

Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, slammed President Trump on Saturday over his allegation that former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower before the election.

President Trump ratcheted up his attacks on his predecessor Saturday, with his allegation that Barack Obama ordered surveillance of the real estate mogul before the November election sparking confusion and backlash.

Donald Trump's unreadiness to be president was dramatically highlighted this morning when he went off on a tweetstorm accusing President Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower.

In an apparent bid to deflect attention from the mounting controversy over whether his administration has ties to Russia, the commander-in-chief deployed his favorite weapon in the early hours of Saturday morning: dropping a Twitter bomb on the world that accuses President Obama of a conspiracy on the scale of Watergate.

Democrats are pushing back on President Trump's Saturday morning claims that President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower offices before the election.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) continues to give zero fucks about calling out our Commander-in-Thief on his bullshit.

On Thursday afternoon, Attorney General Jeff Sessions held a press conference to announce that he was recusing himself from any possible investigations into connections between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia. It was a dissembling performance that demonstrated why his recusal is not enough.
