Republican senator: Intel panel to look at alleged Obama wiretap
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Republican member of the Senate Intelligence Committee says he believes US President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated allegations that his predecessor ordered wiretaps of Trump Tower will become part of the committee’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton says, “We’re going to follow the facts wherever they lead us. And I’m sure that this matter will be a part of that inquiry.”
Trump has provided no evidence of his tweeted accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign.
And Cotton says he has not seen any evidence of official wiretapping.
Cotton tells “Fox News Sunday,” “That doesn’t mean that none of these things happened. It simply means I haven’t seen that yet.”
