President Trump said that he would be vindicated over his
unproven claims that former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, according
to Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy.
"This will be investigated. This will all come out.
I will be proven right," Trump said Saturday to Ruddy after he asked the
president about Obama's denial of any wiretaps. Ruddy wrote about the
conversation Sunday on Newsmax.
Trump tweeted on Saturday that Obama had ordered Trump
Tower be wiretapped during the 2016 election, but provided no evidence to back
up the claim.
Ruddy said Trump was still fuming over the wiretap story,
telling him, "I haven't seen him this pissed off in a long time."
Ruddy said that the news media should have focused more
on the fact that Obama nor his administration officials didn't deny that
Trump's offices were wiretapped, just that Obama was not behind any order. But
he suggested the White House must have known.
"Wouldn't it strain belief that a major presidential
candidate's offices were wiretapped and the president was never informed?"
Ruddy wrote.
The House and Senate intelligence panels both said they
plan to investigate the alleged surveillance as part of a larger probe into
Russian interference with the 2016 election.

ARTICLE:
The New York Times
article ”Comey Asks Justice Dept. to Reject Trump’s Wiretapping Claim” is more
fake news from the NYT.
The article starts by citing unnamed sources, “senior
American officials.”
Then the article admits that the responsible F.B.I. and Justice Department officials were not the "sources" for the fake news. Here are the operative sentences in the article:
“A
spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the
spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.”
Further in the NYT’s fake news story is this sentence:“It is not clear why Mr. Comey did not issue the statement himself.”
Oh, is it because Mr. Comey did not make the statement?
