McCain: Trump Must Prove Wiretapping or Retract Claims

President Donald Trump must provide the American people, not just the Senate Intelligence Committee, with proof of his claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, and if he doesn't have the proof, he needs to retract his statements, Sen. John McCain said Sunday.

"If his predecessor violated the law, President Obama violated the law, we've got a serious issue here, to say the least," McCain told CNN's "State of the Union" program, while pointing out that he himself has no reason to believe the allegations are true.

"I also believe that the president of the United States could clear this up in a minute," said the Arizona Republican. "All he has to do is pick up the phone, call the director of the CIA, the Director of National Intelligence and say, 'okay, what happened?'

When asked if he has any concern about Trump's "barrage of conspiracy theories" of Obama and others, McCain said Trump has a "unique style" and as he's the elected president, he's not going to tell him how to conduct his presidency.

It is harder to prove McCain is a Republican.

McCain does not want a full investigation because he is afraid of what they will find. That Trump wins again and McCain's buddy Obama is a mole.

At a news conference today Spicer said that the President didn't mean Wiretapping when he tweeted Wiretapping. And when he said Obama did it he didn't mean Obama, he meant Obamas people. Apparently McCain doesn't speak English. Get with the program McCain!!

Why would Trump need to show his tax records ? He hasn't been in charge of tax payer funds until now.

Like to see old man McCain hook up the nasty Pelosi broad and run away....to another country.

McCain is about a week too late with his call for proof. Several reporters have actually reported on the FISAs that were filed throughout summer and fall which lead to wiretapping. Why AZ continues to re-elect this ass is beyond any reasonable thought. He obviously doesn't do his own homework. He looked idiotic before he even uttered this statement on CNN no less. What a schmuck.

McCain must prove that Russians had anything to do with the elections. He needs to put up or shut up.
