WASHINGTON The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to publicly reject President Trumps assertion that President Barack Obama ordered the tapping of Mr. Trumps 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. Trumps 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.

Citing anonymous “senior American officials” as the source. That could mean anybody.
‘Trey Gowdy (R-SC) After FBI Director Comey Briefing: “Be Very Very Careful” Relying On NYT and Washington Post For Leaked News’
I think THIS is what Clinton and Lynch conspired about on the plane.

Please Listen at 23:10 - COMEY SOURCE of Trump’s Information
The Attorney General runs the Justice Dept now
Not the FBI like when Lynch did not do her job and did Comey’s bidding.
from “senior American officials”
Fake
It's time to do something because this is starting to look bad.
>>They are trying to detach Obama from any direct order<<
I believe you are right on the money. The left is attempting to fall on the sword for Obozo.
There is that word, "Ordered" again. They seem to use this as if it was scripted for all of them. ☺
We know what comes from the NY Slimes is anti-Trump and Comey has been playing both sides.
Go, President Trump...MAGA!

How does his statement about Comey telling Trump he was tapped tie into this news?
Then what's the damn "real news" because I'm not seeing anything that makes me feel good right now.
The NYT is a mouthpiece for the deep state.
Believe it when it happens, not when the NYT says it happened or will happen.
Until Comey issues a statement or resigns, it’s all Bull Squeezings.
NY Times people, NY Times.
Ed Klein, I think.
I posted that
Well that's just it..it's the “Times” and might as well be CNN...and we know how that is.
As for Comey...he often gives mixed messages or vague comments that can be construed to mean something they aren't. At best he's on a leash either way.
At this point most anything coming out of any Intelligence Organization is up for questioning.....they have forgotten they are NOT in charge of this country nor are they the ruling government.
Fake News again!
This is not good folks.
Trump probably overreached by saying Obama ordered the tap.
Perhaps he should have said his administration which is much easier to prove.
