Donald Trump faces up to hard truths after FBI director James Comey labels his wiretapping claims false
On the 60th day of his presidency came the hardest truth for Donald Trump.
He was wrong.
James B. Comey - the FBI director whom Trump celebrated on the campaign trail as a gutsy and honourable “Crooked Hillary” truth-teller - testified under oath Monday what many Americans had already assumed: Trump had falsely accused his predecessor of wiretapping his headquarters during last year’s campaign.
Trump did not merely allege that former president Barack Obama ordered surveillance on Trump Tower, of course. He asserted it as fact, and then reasserted it, and then insisted that forthcoming evidence would prove him right.
