unsupported claim of wiretapping as the fbi investigates possible cooperation between his campaign and russia. under the foreign intelligence surveillance act or fisa, they're allowed to eaves drop a power. jeff pegues has that story. law enforcement sources say the fbi pushed back because the president's claim falsely suggests the fbi broke the law. at the heart of mr. trump's claim is accusation that former president obama ordered wiretapping on the trump campaign, but according to doj, the president cannot order a wiretap if surveillance involves communication to which a u.s. person is the party. typically the fbi gets the washlts from the special federal court with the approval of the

table. i heard from reliable source he may join us at the table later this week. he's publicly rejektsing the charge that president obama ordered phone tapping of his campaign office. he tweeted on saturday that president obama had my wires tapped at trump tower just before the victory, yet he offered no evidence of this. >> the obama spokesperson saiding the president never ordered surveillance against a citizen. former director james co-clapper also clarejektss the claims. >> there was no wiretapping against the candidate or against his campaign. it's in everyone's interest, in the current president's interest, democrats' interest, and country's interest to get o the bottom of all this because it's such a distraction.
7:53 am
>> white house asked to investigate the claim. devin nunez agreed to look into it. senior analyst france town end, a former adviser to president bush is here to discuss. where do you begin? you know this very well, the wiretaps, the warrants. can you imagine any scenario where president obama would have ordered a wiretap at trump tower to see what trump was doing? >> gayle, while all have broad security authority. i know of no president including president obama that would have ordered the surveillance of a individual in the united states. by the way, washington is horrible at keeping secrets, so if a president tried to do such a thing, you can be sure that the bureaucracy would have pushed back and would have leaked. >> what do you see here, fran? what scenario do you see? >> it seems to me if there's a wiretap and there were reports.
7:54 am
will was a fisa request in october. >> o what? >> it's not clear. i feel confident it's not of president trump but could it have been of one of his associates? we heard of contacts between paul man i ford, mike flynn, paige, others. could it be others around him who was in transition working in trump towers? that's possible. >> what would that indicate? what would that indicate? what would the court have had to have seen? >> well, the executive branch doesn't do this on their own. they must establish a full affidavit, establish probable cause that he was an agent of a former power. in this case it would have been russia, and that the agent would have authorized it. let's look at the timeline. that was granted in october, it would have expired sometime in january sometime before or after
7:55 am
the inauguration and if it was an ongoing counterintelligence investigation, and if it was, it's still up right now. >> do you think there was a fisa against one of the president's advisers and as a result that ensnared either president himself or someone close to him? >> well, that's entirely possible, norah, that they were able to establish probable cause, that they could have made out a probable cause case. when we say -- when you use the word "ensnared," it's not always a nefarious mode here. oftentimes they're looking for a visa or innocent reason and there's contacts ha come up. >> but president trump didn't say it was one of my associates or one of my team. he said that the president went after me, how low can he go, how sad, how bad. that's not what he said. >> look.
7:56 am
it's 140 characters. language is not always precise. i think it remains to be seen. as jason chaffetz says, we haven't seen evidence that it's clue but this remains to be seen. >> the fbi has asked the department of justice to publicly deny the wiretapping allegations, which he has not done. what does this stoug you? >> it would be interesting. i tell you you're reluctant to get into this. if you say there was no wiretapping when he was president-elect, next question would be is there one on his associates? which one of the associates. you don't want to get into a back and forth, especially if there's an ongoing investigation. i would not reach much into this. i would be surprised if the department of justice wouldn't want to continue this if it's ongoing. look, the irony of this is the
