ABC’s Jon Karl Asks Trump ‘Were You Wrong About the Wiretapping?’

In the Oval Office, ABC News’ Jonathan Karl asked President Trump about his wiretapping claims, following FBI Director James Comey saying today he’s seen no basis for those.

Trump was asked about this during an Oval Office photo op with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who apparently joked about the subject while Trump himself did not respond to the question:

In Oval Office, I asked @potus, “were you wrong about the wiretapping?” No answer, but Abadi joked to Trump he had nothing to do w wiretaps

Karl confronted Sean Spicer about Comey’s testimony today, at one point receiving a scolding from Spicer for interrupting, telling him, “Please calm down.”
