Lawmakers are asking the Trump administration for evidence to back up his claim that the phones at Trump Tower were tapped during the campaign.
US President Donald Trump asserted in a tweet last week: "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. He continued the allegation against former President Barack Obama in other tweets but offered no evidence.
Obama's director of national intelligence, James Clapper, has said that nothing matching Trump's claims had taken place, but that has not quelled speculation that Trump's communications were monitored by the Obama administration. Trump has asked Congress to investigate.
