WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On March 4, Trump said on Twitter that Obama has ordered his phones wiretapped in October. The White House said Trump has asked Congress to investigate the issue.
"I wasn't making a suggestion about Trump Tower. Those are two separate things," Conway said in an interview with ABC’s "Good Morning America" when asked why she cited documents released by WikiLeaks as evidence that Obama ordered Trump Tower wiretapped.
"I have no evidence, but that's why there's an investigation in Congress," she added.

Conway explained she was referring to "surveillance generally" when asked on Sunday by The Record, a newspaper based in the US state of New Jersey, if she knew for sure that Trump's wiretapping allegations were accurate.

Conway told the newspaper there were "many ways" to surveil someone, including through their phones or television sets.
Conway noted on Monday her answer to The Record had nothing to do with Trump’s statements.
