Our President is a depraved, malicious, serial liar. 

Trump stands by wiretapping claim during Merkel visit

Washington (CNN)

President Donald Trump on Friday refused to disown claims, highlighted by his White House, that British intelligence tapped his phones following a request by President Barack Obama last year, risking a deepening rift with America's key ally.

Trump's aides had earlier attempted to quell British anger over the claims, based on a Fox News report cited by his press secretary, Sean Spicer, in a briefing Thursday, by explaining the comment to the UK government.

But in an awkward moment on live television while meeting Chancellor Angela Merkel -- whose cell phone was once tapped by the National Security Agency -- Trump quipped that he and the German leader had something in common.
Trump's response further fueled a controversy about his claims he was wiretapped by Obama -- first made on Twitter two weeks ago -- which have been rejected by senior members of House and Senate Intelligence committees. The White House has produced no evidence to back up the allegations.
