President Trump counselor's Kellyanne Conway flat out admitted Monday morning she has "no evidence" to support Trump's wiretapping claims. "I have no evidence, but that's why there's an investigation in Congress," Conway said on Good Morning America, when asked about Trump's baseless accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower.
"Just to be clear, you're saying you have no evidence for these allegations?" host George Stephanopoulos asked. "No, of course I don't have any evidence for these allegations and that answer has nothing to do with what the president said last week," Conway said.
