Obama 'genuinely concerned' about Donald Trump developments

March 31, 2017 23:15

A former spokesman for Barack Obama has said the ex-president is genuinely concerned about developments engulfing the Trump administration.

Josh Earnest, who served as White House press secretary from 2014 to 2017, was asked about his former bosses' thoughts about what was transpiring under his successor.

Hes genuinely concerned, Earnest told MSNBC.

Obama has been virtually silent about the various controversies that have beset Trump.

His only public statement, delivered through a spokesman, was to strongly deny Trumps claim - which the New York tycoon delivered without evidence and has been debunked by congressional investigators - that he wiretapped Trump Tower.

Earlier this week, Easrnest said Obama would be happy to continue to offer advice to Trump as he did during the transition between their administrations.
