Barack Obama Responds: Denying Donald Trump’s Wiretap Claim
Barack Obama responds with denial to Donald Trump’s claim that the former POTUS had wiretaps on his phones in the Trump Towers during his campaign.
A few minutes after 6:30 a.m., President Donald Trump started a multiple tweet tirade stunning everyone, CNN notes, by claiming Barack Obama had wiretapped the phones at the Trump Tower prior to the 2016 election.
“Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!”
The quote above was the first of a multiple tweet tirade slamming Barack Obama for wiretapping. The other tweets can be seen below.
Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!
