Surprise, Surprise! What a waste of time. The Justice Department and the FBI now confirm what the rest of us already knew: There was no surveillance of Trump Tower by the Obama Administration.
The Hill reports:
The Justice Department confirmed in a court filing late Friday that neither it nor the FBI has evidence that Trump Tower was the target of surveillance efforts by the Obama administration during the 2016 presidential election.
The Motion for Summary Judgement was filed in D.C. District Court in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the watchdog group American Oversight, which is seeking government records of surveillance in Trump Tower.
The motion confirms that neither the FBI nor the Justice Department's National Security Division have records documenting wiretaps as alleged by President Trump in a series of tweets earlier this year.
The Friday filing marked the Justice Department's first official denial of the substance of Trump's wiretapping allegations earlier this year.
