The U.S. House Intelligence Committee is calling on President Donald Trump to produce evidence by Monday on his so-far unfounded claim that his phones at Trump Tower in New York were wiretapped during last year's presidential campaign.
Last week, the president wrote on Twitter that former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, had the phones at Trump headquarters tapped, but the Republican Trump has offered no evidence. The president tweeted, "Terrible. Just found out that Obama had me 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism."
Committee chairman Devin Nunes, a Republican, and Adam Schiff, the committee's ranking Democrat, sent a letter to Trump requesting the evidence to support his wiretap claim.
An Obama spokesman has said Trump's charges are "simply false." Trump has not commented on the wiretaps since the tweets.
美国众议院情报委员会要求川普总统周一前提出有关去年总统竞选期间他在纽约川普大厦的电话被窃听的证据。目前为止这一说法还未得到证实。
川普上周在推特上写道,前总统、民主党人奥巴马下令监听川普总部的电话,但川普至今还未提供任何证据。身为共和党人的总统在推特上说,“很可怕,刚刚得知奥巴马在我竞选获胜之前对川普大厦的电话进行了窃听,但没发现任何东西。这是麦卡锡主义。”
该委员会主席、共和党人努涅斯,以及委员会最资深的民主党人亚当·希夫写信给川普总统,要求他提出有关他的电话被窃听的证据。
奥巴马发言人说,川普的指控是“纯粹捏造”。川普自那次推特后没有再提及窃听一事。
