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.

You’re political ignorant and an idiot.
Politico?
Got a link to CNN too?
You call names like a leftist, bug off.
Duly noted.
More of the “Duh” brigade.
“senior American officials said” = “unsubstantiated rumors” = the usual fake news out of NYT and WaPo.
The presumptuous arrogance, and wild, baseless assumptions required to assert this are beyond fabulous, or serious comment. Your blanket statement means that you know who I am, how many times Donald Trump has called me in the past 4 months, and what I received from him in the mail today. Sent from The White House.
Is this correct? And if so, who the ___ are you, James Comey?
I hate to burst your bubble, but I do know that all of the things I said in my previous post are true and provable beyond any shadow of a doubt. I also know that you, too, will know all of this to be true within 3 weeks time.
Shall we revisit, Mr. Know-it-all?
MY happy and naive way!?! LMAO!
Boy, are you in for some rhetorical lumps! I never said Trump is "omnipotent." I only said that he knows the truth of the wiretapping which he tweeted about on Saturday.
Now take your meds, Warpo.
What’s with that Marianne shrew insisting that the “investigation” goes back to June, 2015? Is that new information?
That’s the month that Trump announced his run. It wasn’t until 16 months later that they somehow trimmed a FISA request sufficiently to get it approved.
” a senior American Official said..”
NO NAME IN OTHER WORDS AND DECEPTIVE HEADLINE FROM THE SLIMES....
NY TIMES = FAKE NEWS
My guess is Comey is complicit and could very well be implicated. Time for President Trump to ask for his resignation.
How many read the headline, but not the article?
Comey is setting himself up as the fall-guy.
What delicious irony... Not long ago the New York Times was happy to raise doubts on Comey’s credibility, because they think he unfairly swayed the election by reopening the Clinton email investigation 11 days before the election. But now all of a sudden, they want to rely on Comey’s credibility because he is challenging Trump’s claims of wiretapping...
That’s the month that Trump announced his run. It wasn’t until 16 months later that they somehow trimmed a FISA request sufficiently to get it approved."
I think she's trying to tie whatever investigation there was (might have been) of Paul Manafort’s prior business dealings into the bigger campaign picture, thereby supposedly giving more legitimacy to the FISA requests in 2016.
But I could be wrong! Who knows with these people?
All that needs doing is to tell the truth.
One of my cats is a natural born Fletcher. Sometimes if I get up from my seat, when I return I find the string ball she likes to fetch on the seat and her telling me it’s time to play,lol.

Big O campaign finance 2008 & 2013 needs to look into it.
If Trump had replaced Comey and then exposed the wiretapping, Comey would've come out and denied any involvement and accused President Trump of lashing out former Obama officials.
It might not have been set up for that purpose, but could’ve been a capability that was added later.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but this guy has an interesting take/theory on all this:
