President Trump has yet to provide or unearth proof that the Obama administration targeted him with surveillance, more than a month after initially making the stunning claim. Trump accused former national security adviser Susan E. Rice, who was reported this week to have unmasked the names of Trump associates in intelligence reports, of having committed a crime, without providing evidence. (Jenny Starrs/The Washington Post)Much as with Trump's initial wiretapping claim, there is no public evidence to support his claim that Rice's unmasking of Trump associates broke the law or that other Obama officials were involved. But there is no indication that any surveillance was actually targeted at Trump, as he claimed, or that Trump Tower was wiretapped, as he claimed. But more than a month after making his massive claim, Trump is using these revelations to muddy the waters — and apparently isn't going to stop.
