Comey Asks Justice Dept. to Reject Trump’s Wiretapping Claim, Hayley Cagle

Summary: FBI director James Comey asked the U.S. Justice Department to rebuke Trump's claim of Obama wiretapping Trump Tower's phones. Trump provided no evidence, only claims on social media.
Analysis: In this day and age, the internet is at everyone's fingertips. Even the simplest of thoughts can be shared with the entire world, which can be quite detrimental. Social Media is also a popular place for people to voice their opinions, unfiltered. For the average person, this is alright, but for the President of the United States? You usually picture more mature behavior for someone with such power. Considering Trump's usual irrational behavior, it will be interesting to see how social media plays a role in his presidency.
