Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi: Barack Obama deserves an apology for false wiretap claims [View all]
Joe Biden said former President Barack Obama deserved an apology from President Donald Trump for alleging Obama and his administration wiretapped Trump Towers during the 2016 presidential election.
Trump accused Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in a Twitter rant in early March. Obama denied the claim via a spokesperson, and FBI Director James Comey has testified that there was no evidence linking the Obama administration to surveillance of Trump in the days leading up to the election.
After speaking at a Democratic rally celebrating the seven-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act on Capitol Hill Wednesday, the former vice president told reporters that he thought “any gentleman would” apologize for making such inaccurate claims...
In a statement, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said Trump should apologize not only to Obama but the American people as well.
“President Trump has been desperate to distract attention from the FBI investigation into the Kremlin’s grip on his administration. Director Comey’s testimony put the last nail into President Trump’s mendacious wiretapping claims. President Trump owes President Obama and the American people an apology for his disgraceful and incendiary fabrications.” she said.
