Donald Trumps White House has rejected reports that F.B.I Director James Comey disagrees with Trumps wiretapping claims against Barack Obama.
The New York Times reported at the weekend that Comey had instructed the Department of Justice (DoJ) to publicly disavow the presidents unevidenced accusation that his predecessor had ordered intelligence services to spy on him during the presidential campaign. The DoJ has not yet made any public comment on the wiretapping claims.
The White House press secretary Sean Spicer told the paper he did not accept the report that Comey had intervened to prompt a response.
I have not seen anything, aside from another report based on anonymous sources, that that actually happened, Spicer said. Im not aware that that occurred. I dont think that were aware that that occurred.
The comments highlight the lack of contact on this issue between Trump and his law enforcement or intelligence agencies.
What evidence he does have for the claims appears to come from a right-wing talk show report that was picked up by the pro-Trump news site Breitbart, rather than any privileged information.
Spicer said that Trump still had confidence in the FBI director. Theres nothing that I have been told by him that would leave me to believe that anything is different than it was prior, he said.

FIRE HIM!!!!! Insubordination is enough charge.
Comey is corrupt ! Fire Him!!
Trump and Comey and the DOJ are playing the media and the Democrats.
Ping
More fake girly gossip news from NYT (OMG did you hear what Comey said?!)
This is getting to be too much. Trump is a business executive. If you have a chief or an executive going against the good of the company, you can their asses. This is insubordination.
If something like this happened at Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Exxon, etc., the chief running their mouth would be publicly lampooned.
There is NO evidence yet that Comey even said this. Not a single shred.
kimdotcom says they were watching and listening Trump via his phone.
Didn’t need a wiretap
I don’t know if they LEGALLY needed a wiretap..just saying that is one way they were doing it
The New York Times reported on Jan 20 that Trump was wiretapped. They’re right wing?
I still don’t care. What Comey has done already is enough for me to fire him. He is NOT on our side, IMO and I want him gone. He should have been told to resign on January 20.
Sessions even had dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago Saturday night.
Make Comey quit, don’t fire him (yet).
Yeah!! That will certainly teach the NYT not to make up stories using unnamed sources supposedly telling us what Comey said! /s
Heheh. And they have most certainly now regret it.
The news reports are all over the place on the Russian subject. They claim Trump was working with them, and their source is the wire tap. Then they say there was no proof of a wire tap. But they base all their sources from the wire tap. Comey???? First he meets with Trump, then says, according to the Fake News, that there wasn’t a wire tap, or leads people to believe there wasn’t one. Why does this guy still have a job?? He either knows something and is part of the Trump team, or has dirt on everyone including Trump. Nobody can figure this guy out, but it looks like he is going to run out of contradictions and friends.
Sean Spicer would know the truth.
Thank you for sanity.
Has anyone even asked the FBI to make a statement?
