Consequences of Donald Trump Wire-Tapping Claims
Early in the morning on Saturday, March 4, Trump wrote a series of Tweets accusing his predecessor, Barack Obama, of wiretapping his phones at Trump Tower during the run-up to the election. Here is the series of tweets: Tweet 1: Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! Tweet 2: Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wiretapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW! Tweet 3: I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election! Tweet 4: How low has President Obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process? This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!
