FBI Director James Comey confirms that his agency is investigating possible links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. Comey also says that he has no information to support claims by President Donald Trump that the government wiretapped his phones during the 2016 campaign. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the country's top criminal investigative agency. Comey was speaking Monday during a hearing of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee. Earlier this month, Trump sent a series of tweets accusing former President Barack Obama of ordering wiretaps of his offices at Trump Tower in New York City. Comey said the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice had both carefully investigated Trumps claim. With respect to the presidents tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration, I have no information that supports those tweets. He added that Department of Justice officials asked him to inform the committee that they had also reached the same conclusion about the Trump tweets.
