In case you missed it:
There is no evidence that Barack Obama ever wiretapped Trump Tower during the 2016 election, the Department of Justice said in a court filing on Friday.
"Both FBI and NSD [Department of Justice's National Security Division] confirm that they have no records related to wiretaps as described by the March 4, 2017 tweets," the DOJ wrote in a summary judgment court filing on Sept. 1. "FBI again confirmed that Case 1:17-cv-00718-RCL Document 12 Filed 09/01/17 Page 4 of 39 they do not have any such records by consulting with personnel knowledgeable about Director Comey’s statements and the surveillance activities of the FBI. "
On March 4, just six weeks after he was inaugurated, Trump issued a series of early morning tweets claiming that Obama had wiretapped Trump tower before the 2016 election—but had not found anything. Although Trump decried the move as "McCarthyism," he did not provide any evidence it had happened.
