Vice President Mike Pence struggled on Tuesday to defend President Donald Trumps allegation that former PresidentBarack Obamawiretapped Trump Tower ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Asked whether he thought Trumps tweets were a good move, Pence declined to weigh in.

I think the presidents tweet speaks for itself. Hes expressed himself on it. And were very pleased that the congressional committees have made it clear that they will look into that matter, just as theyre looking into every aspect of it, Pence said during an interview with Fox News RadiosKilmeade and Friends.

There is no evidence to support Trumps claim, though membersof Congress have said they will investigateit. FBI director Jim Comey reportedly asked the Department of Justice to deny it.

After the question about the tweets, Pence tried to pivot the interview away from the controversy.

I can tell you that the focus here at the White House is eyes forward and completely focused on the presidents agenda to repeal and replace Obamacare and to put the national security of this country first, he said.

White House aides havesourced Trumps claim to news reports, but have struggled to defend it. White House press secretary Sean Spicer used similar language as Pence on Monday when addressing Trumps tweets.

Im just going to let the tweet speak for itself, Spicer said.
