White House promises not to repeat claims Britain spied on Trump, UK says – March 17, 2017
London (CNN)The White House has promised not to repeat allegations that a UK intelligence agency spied on US President Donald Trump at the behest of former President Barack Obama, the British government said Friday.
A spokesman for British Prime Minister Theresa May said senior UK officials had protested to the Trump administration after the claims were repeated by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer
“We’ve made clear to the US administration that these claims are ridiculous and should be ignored. We’ve received assurances that these allegations won’t be repeated,” May’s spokesman said.
At a Thursday press briefing, Spicer read out allegations originally made on Tuesday on Fox News by legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, that the UK intelligence agency GCHQ — the equivalent of the US National Security Agency — had spied on Trump.
