Trump Tower wiretapping allegations

Trump Tower in New York City

The Trump Tower wiretapping allegations refer to a series of claims made by then-President Donald Trump in March 2017, alleging that the administration of his predecessor, Barack Obama, had wiretapped the phones in Trump Tower during the 2016 United States presidential election. These allegations were made without evidence and were widely disputed by intelligence officials and lawmakers.

Background

In early March 2017, President Trump tweeted that he had "just found out" that Obama had his "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the election victory. The tweets suggested that the alleged surveillance was politically motivated. Trump did not provide any evidence to support his claims, and the allegations were quickly denied by former President Obama and his representatives.

Reactions

The allegations prompted a swift response from various political figures and intelligence officials. James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, stated that there was no such wiretap activity against Trump or his campaign. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) also found no evidence to support the claims.

Members of Congress from both parties called for evidence to be presented to substantiate the allegations. The House Intelligence Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee both conducted investigations into the matter and found no evidence of wiretapping.

Investigations

The House Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes, initially investigated the claims. Nunes later stated that there was no evidence of wiretapping at Trump Tower. The Senate Intelligence Committee also concluded that there was no evidence to support the allegations.

In September 2017, the DOJ confirmed in a court filing that neither it nor the FBI had any records related to wiretaps as described by President Trump.

Impact

The wiretapping allegations contributed to ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and the intelligence community. They also fueled broader discussions about surveillance, privacy, and the use of intelligence for political purposes.
