Donald trump just flat lied trump tower wiretapping

Yes, it is widely acknowledged that Donald Trump made false claims about wiretapping at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign. On March 4, 2017, Trump tweeted:

"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"

However, there is no evidence to support Trump's claim. The FBI and the Department of Justice have repeatedly denied that they conducted any wiretapping of Trump Tower, and the intelligence community has also denied the claim.

In response to Trump's tweet, the FBI issued a statement saying that they had "no information" to support the claim, and the Department of Justice issued a statement saying that they had "no evidence" to support the claim.

The House Intelligence Committee, which investigated the matter, concluded that there was no evidence to support Trump's claim. The committee's report stated that "the FBI did not have any evidence of wiretapping at Trump Tower."

The Senate Intelligence Committee also investigated the matter and concluded that there was no evidence to support Trump's claim. The committee's report stated that "the committee found no evidence of wiretapping by the Obama administration."

It's worth noting that Trump's claim was widely criticized by many experts and officials, including former FBI Director James Comey, who testified before Congress that there was no evidence to support the claim.

In summary, there is no evidence to support Trump's claim that Obama had his "wires tapped" in Trump Tower, and the FBI, Department of Justice, House Intelligence Committee, and Senate Intelligence Committee have all denied the claim.
