Donald Trump: Republicans See "No Evidence" of Wiretap Claim | Fortune.com
Republican lawmakers want more information from President Trump following his unsubstantiated allegations that former President Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower during the 2016 election.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a member of the Senate intelligence committee that is currently investigating Trump's team's ties to Russia, said Sunday during a "Meet The Press" interview that he has seen "no evidence" to support Trump's claims that were laid out in a series of tweets early Saturday morning.
And while many prominent Republicans have not addressed the topic, a few others joined Rubio in asking the President to release more information regarding his allegations, which Trump likened in a tweet to "Nixon/Watergate."

IMO it is bad enuff when a sitting President presents an embarrassment to the average American but when it comes to party stalwarts, it looks as if Trump is becoming more of an embarrassment to his own GOP thugs, and on a daily basis. :doh
