Barack Obama’s spokesman Kevin Lewis has issued a statement on his behalf responding to President Trump’s tweets about the wiretaps of his office.
The statement reads as follows
The swirling battle in Washington over President Trump’s desire for a detente with Russia has just taken a dramatic twist with President Trump’s disclosure in an extraordinary series of tweets that back in October – just before the election – US President Obama had Trump’s office in Trump Tower tapped.

Russia’s steadfast and rock-solid defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, made a devastating retort to a question from the audience at an event held at Moscow’s MGIMO University on February 21st.

Technically Turkey is a US ally, although Turkey and America are increasingly finding themselves on opposite sides in Syria.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s decision to recuse himself from the FBI investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged contacts with the Russians was absolutely correct.
There are numerous precedents for an Attorney General to recuse him or herself from an investigation. Doing so is the proper way to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
In a further sign of the political chaos sweeping the country, rumours are circulating that Valeria Gontareva, Ukraine’s Central Bank chair, is contemplating resignation.
