we have not seen any evidence that there was a wiretap or a fisa court order against trump tower or somebody in trump tower. as you know, he s part of that so-called gang of eight that gets briefings by the intelligence community, law enforcement community, the most sensitive classified information, he flatly says we have not seen any evidence of any such investment involvement of surveillance by obama against donald trump. are you with the speaker on this? have you seen any evidence? i haven t seen any evidence. but i also know that mr. trump is smart enough that if he says something there must have been something that made him react that way. so let that let that take it where it s going to be and do the investigation accordingly, and then have either a recanting of what was said or it will be justified that much more. congressman, as usual, thanks so much for joining us. it s been a pleasure, wolf. thanks.
sean spicer speaking out about the campaign. speaker paul ryan not mincing words. we have not seen any evidence there was a wiretap or are fisa court order of somebody in trump tower. ryan backed up by intel committee chairman richard burr and marc warner. based on the information available to us, we see no indications that trump tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the government before or after election day 2016. cnn s jim acosta was in the line of fire at the white house. reporter: dave and christine, the white house is trying to explain the claim that president obama wire tapped him in the 2016 campaign during a briefing at the white house. sean spicer predicted the president will be vindicated after the committees investigate
or ceo, you do not point the finger of blame at everyone around you. you take responsibility for the things that you do that are wrong. and you and pointing at whether it s the permanent government employees, whether it is his own staff, whether it is the media, whether it s the courts, you name it, everything, everybody but him has responsibility. when he is the one who has been sowing the chaos. final thought. i don t see it that way. give the president of the united states an opportunity to adapt to the job. he s got to get his team to coalesce around him which i think they will. in 45 days, if you just look at the economy, the buoyancy in the stock market it, directionally, this is going in the right direction. needs more time. appreciate you all being with us. coming up, former intelligence officials say president trump s wiretapping allegations are nonsense. the fbi didn t get a so-called fisa court order. a closer look what that is
continue to evolve and change, common sense dictates we tenilletenille continually re-evaluate the systems we rely upon to protect our country. the guidelines set to take affect march 16th, giving more than a week s notice. president trump previously argued for the immediate rollout of the prior version saying if the ban were announceed with a one-week notice, the bad would rush into our country during that week. bad dudes. yeah. the new version of the order is being met with praise, in some cases muted from republican lawmakers who criticized the original. but democrats have slamm the measure saying it s essentially seco verse, same as the first. the truth is, there is very little new or improved about this executive order. it s barely a fresh coat of paint on the same car that doesn t drive. it s still a travel ban. it s still a refugee ban.
our goal was to be sure we used that time to ensure the most effective implementation. right now a lot of state s attorneys general, including in washington state, a state that successfully sued to block the original ban say they are reviewing this order right now and have yet to make a decision about whether they will try to plok this one as well. mika. peter, can you do your best here, what did sean spicer mean? what was he saying? the point they were trying to make was that initially there was the elent of surprise, so nobody can come in any window, any gap created, hey, this big travel ban. nobody from these seven countries allowed in for 90 days, refugees, 120 days. if it didn t start, everybody would have rushed in. for now anybody that tried to rush in had that opportunity. there is no element of surprise. to be clear they are insisting they have done vetting. any new visas issued since
