The US President made the sensational claim in a tweet today, quoting the right-wing conspiracy-peddling website One America News Network (OANN).<\/p>\n
He first quoted a former CIA analyst making the spying accusation on OAN, then added: “WOW! It is now just a question of time before the truth comes out, and when it does, it will be a beauty!”<\/p>\n
The bizarre accusation comes just days after it was revealed Trump would be undertaking a state visit this summer.<\/p>\n
It may be he is hoping to ramp up tensions ahead of the visit in a bid to improve his leverage in any political discussions which may take place.<\/p>\n
However, the accusation actually dates back to at least 2017 and has been denied by both the Obama administration and MI6.<\/p>\n
A British security official was quoted by Reuters as saying the accusation was “totally untrue and quite frankly, absurd.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Donald and Melania will not stay at Buckingham Palace during their state visit this summer because the Queen has got the builders in, it’s been claimed.<\/p>\n
