White House Says Trump is Not Target of Any Investigation
---------------------------------------------------------

At the White House, Press Secretary Sean Spicer gave conflicting
responses Wednesday to questions about whether Donald Trump might have
been wiretapped because he was under investigation.

Reporter: "Sean, is the president the target of a counterintelligence
investigation?"

Press Secretary Sean Spicer: "I think that's what we need to find out."

But later in Wednesday's news conference, an aide passed Sean Spicer a
note. That prompted this statement from the press secretary

Press Secretary Sean Spicer: "There is no reason that we should-that we
have to think that the president is the target of any investigation
whatsoever."
