http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/17/politics/gchq-trump-wiretap-denial/index.htmlWhite House apologizes to British government over spying claims
Washington (CNN)The White House has apologized to the British government after alleging that a UK intelligence agency spied on President Donald Trump at the behest of former President Barack Obama.
National security adviser H.R. McMaster spoke with his British counterpart on Thursday about press secretary Sean Spicer's comment from the White House podium about a Fox News report that said British intelligence helped wiretap Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign, a White House official said Friday.
The official described the conversation as "cordial" where McMaster described Spicer's comment as "unintentional."

IT IS LONG PAST DUE THAT THE CONGRESSIONAL DEMS DEMAND AN APOLOGY OR MOVE TO CENSURE THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE!
On edit: as correctly called out, Trump didn't apologize, his handlers did. Doesn't change the fact we need to demand an apology though.

But no such apology will ever be made

disrespected the Office of the Presidency in general.

That's why Congress needs to hold him accountable.
