FBI Director James Comey Monday offered the most definitive repudiation yet that the Obama administration wiretapped President Trump’s New York offices in advance of the 2016 elections.

“The FBI and the Justice Department have no information to support’’ Trump’s wiretap assertions, Comey said.

Comey, appearing before the House Intelligence Committee along with National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers, also confirmed for the first time publicly that the FBI was investigating Russian interference , including communications between Trump associates and Russian officials.

…Comey did acknowledge, however, that the Russians appeared to use a third party–a “cutout”–in its communications with WikiLeaks, which published internal communications in the hack of the Democratic National Committee.
