FBI director urged to dispute Trump wiretapping claims

US House of Representatives minority leader Nancy Pelosi has suggested the director of the FBI should step forward to dispute Donald Trump's claim that he was wiretapped by former president Barack Obama.

When asked about James Comey's responsibility in the matter, Ms Pelosi responded: "Theoretically, do I think that a director of the FBI who knows for a fact that something is mythology but misleading to the American people, and he should set the record straight? Yes, I do think he should say that publicly."
