A few hours ago, President Donald Trump made a stunning claim alleging that his predecessor, Barack Obama, wiretapped Trump Tower ahead of the 2016 election. A spokesperson for former President Barack Obama has now responded to Trumps accusation calling the unverified claim "simply false.". Obama's spokesman, Kevin Lewis said in a statement;
"A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice. As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any US citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false."

The management of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) spent GH¢99,663 on Christmas hampers for 2012, the Auditor General has revealed.
According to the latest Auditor General’s report (2014) on public boards, corporations and other statutory institutions, although the amount was released for the  purchase and distribution of the hampers in 2012,  “the purchase of hampers was not  retired nor  adjusted  to  the  personal  advance  account  of  the imprest holder” in contravention of laid down regulations.
It traced  the development to  “the absence of a mechanism in place to ensure  that such advances were retired promptly.”
Consequently, it recommended that management of the commission should devise a mechanism to ensure that advances were retired promptly.
The report mentioned  PURC  management as having indicated that the retirement of the imprest used in purchasing the hampers took place in 2013.

In an interview with Empire, the actor and former California governor claimed that low ratings were due to President Trump's credit as executive producer.
He said he would like to work "on a show that doesn't have this baggage".
Mr Trump - who left the show to run for the White House - has previously ridiculed his TV boardroom successor.
In Friday's interview, Mr Schwarzenegger claimed an anti-Trump social media campaign had impacted the ratings of the show, on which he debuted in January.
"When people found out that Trump was still involved as executive producer and was still receiving money from the show, then half the people [started] boycotting it," said the former Mr Universe.

The Detroit Free Press reports (http://on.freep.com/2m4jAfb ) that Songz, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson, was arraigned via video Friday in Wayne County Circuit Court from Los Angeles.
