Britain’s GCHQ dismisses as ridiculous claims it helped spy on Trump

A spokesman for May said that the charge, made on Tuesday by Fox News analyst Andrew Napolitano, that the UK’s signals intelligence agency GCHQ had helped Obama to wire tap Trump after his victory in last year’s USA presidential election, was “ridiculous”. “And frankly, unless you can produce some pretty compelling proof, then I think that President Obama is owed an apology in that regard”, Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole said. There was an article.

“Don’t you devalue your words when you can’t provide evidence?”

“Well”, replied the president, “because the New York Times wrote about it”.

Trump is more outspoken and improvisational and has little time for diplomatic niceties.

FBI Director Comey would also be privy to any FISA request, which is why he asked the Justice Department to reject Mr. Trump’s wiretap claim.

Trump has accused Obama of ordering wiretaps at his Trump Tower in NY, but two weeks after the extraordinary claim, he has not delivered any evidence.

The Russian government has rejected an accusation by US intelligence agencies that it worked to influence the election in Trump’s favor by hacking computer systems, among other methods. The article identified the associates under investigation as former campaign manager Paul Manafort, and advisers Carter Page and Roger Stone.

Other White House officials, who also requested anonymity, said Spicer had offered no regret to the ambassador. Remember what the Marxist Lenin said “A lie told often enough becomes truth”.

“Well, let’s see whether or not I prove it”, Trump responded.

Trump tweeted earlier this month, without presenting evidence, that Obama had Trump Tower’s “wires tapped” during the presidential campaign.

Germany, the most powerful political force in the European Union, has also been deeply concerned by Trump’s criticisms of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and deep skepticism inside the White House about the EU itself.

Trump and his spokesman, Sean Spicer, have sought to defend the claim, despite the absence of hard evidence.

The syndicated columnist sat down with Tucker Carlson after the leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees said Thursday they’ve seen no evidence of the surveillance.

United Kingdom officials say Spicer has apologized, CBS News White House correspondent Margaret Brennan reports.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Thursday quoted Napolitano’s comments about GCHQ when he spoke to the media.

The GCHQ denied the charges in a public statement, saying the report was “utterly ridiculous and should be ignored”.

May’s spokesman argued this pact precluded the kind of spying alleged by Napolitano, saying: “I would add as a matter of fact that under the “Five Eyes” intelligence agreement, we can not use each other’s capabilities to circumvent the law”. “There’s really no end to the list of very big things that he should be focusing on pushing through” instead of obsessing over what we now know was a misleading story at Breitbart.com that got inserted into Trump’s daily news printouts.
