House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is suggesting the FBI director should come forward to dispute President Donald Trump's claim that he was wiretapped by former President Barack Obama.
Pelosi was asked on Friday about James Comey's responsibility in the matter.
"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," she said.
Trump's claim, Pelosi added, "couldn't possibly be true."
Trump made the claim over Twitter about Obama wiretapping him, without evidence. Comey has privately urged the Justice Department to dispute the claim but has not come forward to do so himself.
