In a motion filed Friday, the Justice Department acknowledged that it has no evidence that former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign, the Washington Examiner reports.
CNN also reported on the Justice Department findings.
According to American Oversight, a transparency group that filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the National Security Division and the FBI did not have any records of wiretapping that President Trump alleged on Twitter earlier this year.
The claim has been previously debunked by security experts and former intelligence officials.
