After just over six weeks in the White House, Donald Trump can't get away from the growing scandal of Russia's involvement in his campaign and administration. In an attempt to deflect from his current issues, Trump has now accused former President Barack Obama of ordering his Trump Tower offices to be wiretapped.

Conway on Trump

Despite his best efforts, Donald Trump seems forever linked to controversy involving Russia. From his hidden tax returns, to the Kremlin hacking the Democratic National Committee, to members of his administration being caught illegally communicating with foreign officials, Trump has been backed into a corner on the issue in question.

The last week has caused even more trouble for the former host of "The Apprentice," as Attorney General Jeff Sessions was exposed by the Washington Post for speaking to the Russian ambassador on at least two occasions during the campaign. As part of his defense, Trump has accused Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower, despite not providing any evidence to verify his claims. This issue was highlighted with Presidential Counsel Kellyanne Conway during the March 5 edition of "Justice with Judge Jeanine" on Fox News.

Joining Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was Kellyanne Conway, who did her best to defend Donald Trump over the aforementioned allegation of wiretapping. "Does President Trump already know the answer to the question as to whether or not he was wiretapped?" Pirro asked.

"He may," Conway responded, unable to confirm that Trump's comments were accurate. "We know there were politically motivated stories and investigations all through the campaign season," Conway said, quickly shifting blame onto alleged media attacks. Conway then went to say that her claims were verified by "credible news sources," though she didn't mention any news outlet in particular.

Conway deflects

Jeanine Pirro continued to press Kellyanne Conway, asking why Donald Trump has not provided any facts to back up his conspiracy, asking, "If the president knows this, he is in a position to declassify any warrant or wiretap order if one to exists.

Why doesn't he just do that and prove it?" Once again, Conway didn't give a straight answer, pushing the blame on Democrats for continuing to bring up allegations about Russia. The conversation continued and concluded with Conway making sure to take several jabs at the Democratic Party and the mainstream media, without ever giving a credible answer.
