Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said there was no wiretap activity directed against President Donald Trump or his campaign by the Obama administration, as Trump has claimed without evidence in calling for a Congressional investigation.
“I can deny it,” Clapper, weeks removed from serving as the top U.S. intelligence official, said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” when asked whether he could confirm or deny that a court order allowing for eavesdropping at Trump Tower in New York existed.
