The US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence plans to quickly establish the merits of President Donald Trump’s “wiretapping” accusations against his predecessor Barack Obama, committee member Marco Rubio said Sunday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Saturday, Trump took to Twitter to accuse Obama of having his Trump Tower headquarters’ “wires tapped” prior to the 2016 presidential election, describing this as the former administration’s “new low.” The president went on to compare the alleged surveillance to McCarthyism and the Watergate scandal. The claims have been rejected by Obama’s representative.
“I’m not sure what it is he is talking about… Perhaps the President has information that is not yet available to us or to the public. And if it’s true, obviously we’re going to find out very quickly. And if it isn’t, then obviously he’ll have to explain what he meant by it,” Rubio told the CNN.
