Kevin Lewis, a spokesman for former President Obama, released a statement earlier today, in response to President Trump’s early morning tweetstorm.
In his tweets, the president suggested that President Obama had “wiretapped” Trump Tower, ahead of the November 2016 election.
Trump offered no proof and seems to be relying on an earlier story from Breitbart, that alluded to a plan by Obama to undermine Trump’s presidency.

So far, there is no proof of any tampering or wiretapping.
We’ll just have to wait this one out, because Trump’s 3am tweets cannot stand as the sole evidence necessary to condemn anyone – even someone as generally loathsome and adversarial to the conservative cause as President Obama.
Innocent until proven guilty is a right afforded everyone in this country.
Even those we don’t agree with, politically.
Trump is the President don’t need no Breitbart for information
No denial. Lawyer speak.
Why doesn’t Obama issue a public statement himself, instead of sending
out his hack spokesperson?
Because Obama knows he is about to get caught lying.
THIS IS CRIMINAL!!!
Wiretapping the opposition party in a presidential election? Isn’t that what Richard Nixon’s people did in Watergate?
innocent till proven guilty, Someone needs to tell Pelosi and the radical left this, as they are wanting to hang the this administration.
All Obama said is that he nor the WH ordered it, not that it didn’t happen. Weasel words!
Ah, the Hillary “there is no proof that I....” defense.
Destroy the evidence and deny there is any evidence.
Almost worked for the email evidence you illegally tried to destroy....oops...was another copy elsewhere...whoops.
not just wiretapping, but also using that information to leak to the media to try and bring down a freely elected government
I think we can presume that Trump, as president, with "full" access to the records and apparatus of the intel community knows for a fact whether or not he was the subject of electronic surveillance.
What we have is a deflection, not a denial.
That’s not illegal wiretapping. That is sedition.
Red state rubbish.
Isn’t Red State run by that sellout clown Erickson?
These dopes just reguritate the same talking points. Trump is relying on Breitbart. Trump offered no proof. Yada yada. Broken record.
Like you said, pretty sure Trump has access to more intelligence than Breitbart.
Indeed, and as of yet I have not sen this reported in the MSM. If it has then I have missed it.
Hopefully I am wrong
CNN of course dismisses the whole thing as “BASELESS”

Right. Obama authorizes tap and from there it’s all in Lynch’s hands.
