Senior Republican John McCain has told Donald Trump to either present evidence proving Barack Obama was involved in wiretapping his phones or retract the claim. McCain’s demand came after the House intelligence committee asked the president for evidence that phones at Trump Tower were tapped during the campaign. Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. This is McCarthyism!” He continued the allegation against Obama in other tweets but offered no evidence. During the past week, Schiff said the committee would answer the president’s call to investigate the claim.
