'I have no information that supports those tweets': FBI boss Comey skewers Trump by knocking down President's claim Obama tapped his phones at Trump Tower

FBI Director James Comey took the unusual step of confirming the existence of a counterintelligence investigation today at a House hearing on Russia meddling in the 2016 election. FBI Director James Comey stated unequivocally that he has 'no information' to back up President Trump's claim that President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. Comey said the FBI is looking at possible links and coordination between President Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Russians. The investigation includes an assessment of potential crimes that were committed. Because the investigation is ongoing, and deals with classified information, Comey said he could not share additional details about who the target of the probe is and what conduct is under scrutiny.'I know that is extremely frustrating to some folks, but it is the way it has to be,' he said.
