excerpts and highlighting considerable allegations from it.

A month after the purported assembly, in March 2017,
Trump despatched a tweet alleging, without evidence, that Obama had
wiretapped Trump Tower at some stage in the 2016 presidential election,
a declare denied by a spokesperson for Obama.

Then-White Home press secretary Sean Spicer subsequently
defended Trump’s tweets by citing comments from Fox News
commentator Andrew Napolitano, who alleged that Obama had
enlisted UK intelligence company GCHQ to abet surveil Trump and
his associates.

GCHQ denied the allegations, asserting in an announcement: « Most up-to-date
allegations made by media commentator divulge Andrew Napolitano
about GCHQ being asked to habits ‘wiretapping’ towards the then
president-elect are nonsense. They are completely ridiculous and
will need to be omitted. »

Reached for comment, a spokesperson for Tony Blair told Trade
Insider: « The allegations printed in The Cases are categorically
absurd. They are a entire fabrication, don’t have any basis basically
and are merely faux. »

the skill to create headaches for British intelligence
products and services and set stress on the already-unusually strained
relationship between the UK and the US.
