Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday there’s “no evidence” to back up President Trump’s claims that any U.S. government intelligence agency wiretapped Trump Tower during last year’s campaign.
“There’s no evidence of that – I’ve not heard that before,” the Kentucky Republican said during a Politico Playbook Thursday morning interview.
However, McConnell also said Trump’s claim, which the Obama administration has furiously denied, is an “appropriate subject” for the Senate Intelligence Committee to investigate.
McConnell is one of eight top congressional leaders who the intelligence agencies are required to brief on the most sensitive classified issues to the country.
