President Trump publicly apologise for accusing GCHQ of 'wire tap'
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
In recent Whitehouse press briefing the president has named GCHQ as having tapped/wiretapped/carried out surveillance of behalf of then president Obama
This constitutes uncorroborated slander and we demand that the comment is fully and unconditionally retracted and that the President make an apology to the PM, Queen and the People of the United Kingdom.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This petition calls on the President of the USA, not the UK Government or Parliament, to take action.
