The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General refuted multiple claims by President Donald Trump that former President Barack Obama ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower.

On Wednesday, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing regarding his report on the origins of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Trump-Russia probe.

One of the issues asked during the hearing was the Pres. Trump’s accusations that the FBI wiretapped the Trump Tower and planted spies at the Trump campaign in 2016.

During the hearing, the DOJ Inspector General said he did not find any evidence that the FBI tapped phones at Trump Tower or planted or informants at the Trump campaign.

Below are some of the exchanges between Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Horowitz regarding the matter:

Blumenthal: Did you find any evidence that the FBI tapped the phones at Trump Tower?
Horowitz: No. The only wiretapping or the only surveillance we found was what’s   laid out here.
Blumenthal:  Did you find any evidence that the FBI planted informants in the Trump campaign?"
Horowitz: No.

Blumenthal:  Did you find any evidence that the FBI tried specifically to entrap any of the individuals who were the focus of their investigation namely Manafort, Flynn, Papadopolous or Page?

Horowitz: Entrapment is a legal term when you are moving forward on a criminal case. We didn’t see that in this case.

Blumenthal:  Correct, there is no evidence here of entrapment but the President has claimed that there was entrapment, that his phones were tapped, that Carter Page may have been used as a spy. Did you find any evidence that the FBI put spies in the Trump campaign?

Horowitz:  I’m gonna speak to the terminologies used at the Department…, which is confidential human sources…We did not find evidence that the FBI sought to place confidential human sources inside the campaign or plant them inside the campaign.

Sen. Christpher Coons (D-DEL) also asked Horowitz if he found any evidence that Pres. Obama ordered the FBI to tap Trump’s phone.

The DOJ Inspector General responded, “We didn’t find any evidence the FBI had tapped any other phones or anything else other than the FISA that we addressed.” Horowitz was referring to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant perform surveillance on Page.

In March of 2017, Pres. Trump posted a series of tweets alleging that former Pres. Obama ordered the wiretapping of the Trump Tower.

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!
