DEADLINE TODAY: There’s no indication the White House plans to meet a request to provide by today any evidence to back up President Trump’s explosive charge that his predecessor President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower a month before the election last year. The heads of the House Intelligence Committee, Republican chairman Devin Nunes and ranking Democrat Adam Schiff, sent a letter last week to the Justice Department asking for all relevant documents. As recently as Friday, Schiff said he had not seen any proof to back up Trump’s accusation, even after participating in a classified meeting with FBI Director James Comey.

“I think the president has one of two choices, either retract or to provide the information that the American people deserve,” said Sen. John McCain on CNN Sunday. “But I also believe that the president of the United States could clear this up in a minute. All he has to do is pick up the phone, call the director of the CIA, director of national intelligence, and say, OK, what happened? Because they certainly should know whether the former president of the United States was wiretapping Trump Tower.”
