>> PREVIOUS STORY: Trump accuses Obama of tapping phone before election
Following news of Trump's allegations, Obama's spokesman issued the following statement on behalf of the 44th president:
"A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice," Kevin Lewis wrote.
“As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”
