WASHINGTON Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio flew down to Florida with President Donald Trump one day before the president claimed in a series of tweets Saturday that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones at Trump Tower prior to the election.

Rubio told host Chuck Todd on Sunday's "Meet The Press" that he has "no insight" into what the president was referring to or what his motivation was for sending the tweets.

A senior U.S. official told NBC News that he and others do not know what the president was referring to when he alleged that Obama ordered a wiretap of communications at Trump Tower.

"Suffice it to say I don't have any basis, I've never heard that allegation made before by anybody," Rubio said. "I've never seen anything about that anywhere before. But again, the president put that out there, and now the White House will have to answer as to exactly what he was referring to."

10. gop YUUGGGE mistake

tRump is THEIRS, when he goes down, and he will, he will take many of them with him. McConnell is in this up to his (non-existant) neck. He refused to hold hearings for Garland, saying the next president would fill the SC vacancy. He KNEW who that would be. He also refused to hold hearing on the Russian connection, saying it would appear to be "too partisan" That greedy s-o-b is due for a fall - BIGLY. I wonder about Lyin' Ryan. He is McConnell;s butt boy, but seems very dim witted. He comes alive when talking about destroying Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

The virtual WH doesn't have to answer to anything.
