WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not released any such statement.
Mr. Comey made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter. Mr. Comey has been working to get the Justice Department to knock down Mr. Trump’s claim because there is no evidence to support it and it insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
A spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.

Time to fire Comey and every DOJ attorney.
Consider the source and the exact words NYT is using here.
FIRE COMEY!!!!!
Wow. I bet he was involved then.
WTF?
CC
Ok, it’s the tortured use of the english language....look closely....words mean different things for liars...
“...reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones...”
Foley SO needs to be fired.
More unnamed sources
IF true then McCabe and Comey need to be fired
An hour ago he was the hero bringing this to light. WTF?
Or is this, in fact, a means to smoke out the moles/traitors in DOJ?
Sorry I meant Comey.
About six weeks late for that.
Yikes!
Ugh, I can’t believe how many Freepers fly off the handle without thinking “fake news” or “fake source”. Ugh...
Is it possible that Comey is a back stabber? Maybe, but I know for DAMN sure that the NYT is liars and back stabbers.
They are trying to detach Obama from any direct order....it will fall on AG Lynch, or her people.
Why does any conservative still post Fake News?
Guess Comey and NYT have not seen the Levin interview where Levin quotes NYT...shows that according to main line media sources, there SIX agencies investigating Trump...\
Sooo Comey is incorrect or worse from what Levin said...
Amazing Levin interview—the old Levin is back!!!

Yes, I see no verifiable source for the statement. #FAKENEWS
The whole wiretapping of the Trump campaign would be a non-issue if Hillary won the election. Only Trump won. So Obama Admin. had to manufacture the Russian meme to cover up their illegal activities.
