Trump claims Obama wiretapped him during campaign

U.S. President Donald Trump accused predecessor Barack Obama on Saturday of wiretapping him during the late stages of the 2016 election campaign, but offered no evidence for an allegation which an Obama spokesman said was “simply false”.

Trump made the accusation in a series of early morning tweets just weeks into his administration and amid rising scrutiny of his campaign’s ties to Russia.

“How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!,” Trump wrote in one tweet.

“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!”

The remarkable tussle between the current and former presidents just 45 days since the handover of power is the latest twist in a controversy over ties between Trump associates and Russia that has dogged the early days of his presidency.

U.S. intelligence agencies concluded last year that Russia hacked and leaked Democratic emails during the election campaign as part of an effort to tilt the vote in Trump’s favor. The Kremlin has denied the allegations.

Trump has accused officials in Obama’s administration of trying to discredit him with questions about Russia contacts.

Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said it had been a “cardinal rule” of the Obama administration that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice.

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017

“Neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false,” Lewis said in a statement.

The statement did not address the possibility that a wiretap of the Trump campaign could have been ordered by Justice Department officials.

Trump said the alleged wiretapping took place in his Trump Tower office and apartment building in New York, but there was“nothing found.”

The White House did not respond to a request to elaborate on Trump’s accusations.

AIDES CAUGHT BY SURPRISE

Trump was spending the weekend at his Florida seaside resort, Mar-a-Lago. He was scheduled to meet with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly before a dinner with officials also including adviser Steve Bannon and White House Counsel Don McGahn, the White House said.
Under-fire US Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from any probes into the US presidential election campaign after it emerged that he had met the Russian ambassador before the election and denied it during his Senate confirmation hearing.

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!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017


Amid a political storm, Sessions on Thursday announced he would stay out of any probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election after it emerged he met last year with Russia’s ambassador, although he maintained he did nothing wrong by failing to disclose the meeting.

A Trump spokeswoman said the president spent part of Saturday “having meetings, making phone calls and hitting balls”at his golf course in West Palm Beach.

His supporters, meanwhile, staged small rallies in at least 28 of the country’s 50 states, most of which passed off peacefully.

But there were clashes in the famously left-leaning city of Berkeley, California, where protesters from both sides hit each other over the head with wooden sticks.

Trump’s tweets caught his aides by surprise, with one saying it was unclear what the president was referring to.

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017


Members of Congress said Trump’s accusations require investigation or explanation.

Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican, described the allegations as serious and said the public deserved more information.

He said in a statement it was possible that Trump had been illegally tapped, but, if so, the president should explain what sort of tap it was and how he knew about it.

U.S. Representative Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, called Trump’s assertion a“spectacularly reckless allegation”.

“If there is something bad or sick going on, it is the willingness of the nation’s chief executive to make the most outlandish and destructive claims without providing a scintilla of evidence to support them,” Schiff said in a statement.

Former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes strongly denied Trump’s allegations: “No president can order a wiretap.

Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you,” Rhodes wrote on Twitter.

RUSSIA SANCTIONS

Trump’s administration has come under pressure from Federal Bureau of Investigation and congressional investigations into contacts between some members of his campaign team and Russian officials during his campaign.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said he had no knowledge of any wiretapping but was “very worried” about the suggestion Obama had acted illegally and would also be concerned “if in fact the Obama administration was able to obtain a warrant lawfully about Trump campaign activity.”

Several other Republicans again urged an investigation into a series of intelligence-related leaks.

Obama imposed sanctions on Russia and ordered Russian diplomats to leave the United States in December over the country’s involvement in hacking political parties in the Nov. 8 U.S. presidential election.

Under U.S. law, a federal court would have to have found probable cause that the target of the surveillance is an “agent of a foreign power” in order to approve a warrant authorizing electronic surveillance of Trump Tower.

Several conservative news outlets and commentators have made allegations in recent days about Trump being wiretapped during the campaign, without offering any evidence.

Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, resigned in February after revelations that he had discussed U.S. sanctions on Russia with the Russian ambassador to the United States before Trump took office.

Flynn had promised Vice President Mike Pence he had not discussed U.S. sanctions with the Russians, but transcripts of intercepted communications, described by U.S. officials, showed that the subject had come up in conversations between him and the Russian ambassador.

West Palm Beach, Florida | President Donald Trump on Saturday accused former President Barack Obama of tapping his phones at Trump Tower the month before the election, levelling the explosive allegation without offering any evidence.

Trump called his predecessor a "bad (or sick) guy" on Twitter as he fired off a series of messages claiming that Obama "had my 'wires tapped'". He likened the supposed tapping to "Nixon/Watergate" and "McCarthyism," although he did not say where he had gotten his information.

A spokesman for Obama said any suggestion that the former president had ordered such surveillance was "simply false."

During the 2016 campaign, federal authorities began an investigation into links between Trump associates and the Russian government, an issue that continues to dog Trump. His aides declined to clarify whether the president's allegations were based on briefings from intelligence or law enforcement officials – which could mean that Trump was revealing previously unknown details about the investigation – or on something else, like a news report.

But a senior White House official said that Donald F. McGahn II, the president's chief counsel, was working to secure access to what McGahn believed to be an order issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorising some form of surveillance related to Trump and his associates.
No evidence

The official offered no evidence to support the notion that such an order exists. It would be a highly unusual breach of the Justice Department's traditional independence on law enforcement matters for the White House to order it to turn over such an investigative document.

Any request for information from a top White House official about a continuing investigation would be a stunning departure from protocols intended to insulate the FBI from political pressure. It would be even more surprising for the White House to seek information about a case directly involving the president or his advisers, as does the case involving the Russia contacts.

Last month, Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, came under fire for asking a top FBI official to publicly rebut news reports about contacts between Trump campaign officials and the Russian government.

Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, said in a statement that the "White House counsel is reviewing what options, if any, are available to us." McGahn did not respond to a request for comment.

The president's decision Saturday to lend the power of his office to accusations against his predecessor of politically motivated wiretapping – without offering any proof – was remarkable, even for a leader who has repeatedly shown himself willing to make assertions that are false or based on dubious sources.
Legally difficult

It would have been difficult for federal agents, working within the law, to obtain a wiretap order to target Trump's phone conversations. It would have meant that the Justice Department had gathered sufficient evidence to convince a federal judge that there was probable cause to believe Trump had committed a serious crime or was an agent of a foreign power, depending on whether it was a criminal investigation or a foreign intelligence one.

Former officials pointed to long-standing laws and procedures intended to ensure that presidents cannot wiretap a rival for political purposes.

"A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice," said Kevin Lewis, a spokesman for Obama. "As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any US citizen."

Trump asserted just the opposite in a series of five Twitter messages beginning just minutes before sunrise in Florida, where the president is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

In the first message, the president said he had "just found out" that "Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower" before the election. Trump's reference to "wires tapped" raised the possibility that he was referring to some other type of electronic surveillance and was using the idea of phone tapping loosely.

Two people close to Trump said they believed he was referring to a Breitbart News article, which aides said had been passed around among his advisers. Mark Levin, a conservative radio host, had also embraced the theory recently in a push against what right-leaning commentators have been calling the "deep state."

The Breitbart article, published Friday, claimed that there was a series of "known steps taken by President Barack Obama's administration in its last months to undermine Donald Trump's presidential campaign and, later, his new administration." Stephen Bannon, Trump's chief strategist, once led Breitbart News.

If Trump was motivated to take to Twitter after reading the Breitbart article or listening to Levin, he was using a presidential megaphone to spread dark theories of a broad conspiracy aimed at undermining his presidential ambitions, and later his presidency.

Even with the Breitbart article circulating, several of Trump's advisers were stunned by the president's morning Twitter outburst. Those advisers said they were uncertain about what specifically Trump was referring to; one surmised that he may also have been referring to a months-old news report about a secret surveillance warrant for communications at his New York offices.
"100 per cent untrue"

One senior law enforcement official from the Obama administration, who has direct knowledge of the FBI investigation into Russia and of government wiretapping, said that it was "100 per cent untrue" that the government had wiretapped Trump. The official, who asked for anonymity to discuss matters related to investigations and intelligence, said the White House owed the American people an explanation for the president's allegations.

Ben Rhodes, a former top national security aide to Obama, said in a Twitter message directed at Trump on Saturday that "no president can order a wiretap" and added, "Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you."

The House and Senate Intelligence Committees are moving forward with their own investigations into Russia's efforts to influence the election, and they have said they will examine links between Trump's associates and the Russians.

Sen. Chris Coons, said Friday that he believed there were "transcripts" that would help document those contacts, although he said he had not yet seen them.

"There are transcripts that provide very helpful, very critical insights into whether or not Russian intelligence or senior Russian political leaders – including Vladimir Putin – were cooperating, were colluding, with the Trump campaign at the highest levels to influence the outcome of our election," Coons told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC. "I believe they exist."

In a written statement Saturday, a spokesman for Coons said that the senator "did not imply that he is aware of transcripts indicating collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians." The spokesman, Sean Coit, said Coons "simply stated that a full review of all relevant transcripts and intelligence intercepts is necessary to determine if collusion took place."

The New York Times reported in January that among the associates whose links to Russia are being scrutinised are Paul Manafort, Trump's onetime campaign chairman; Carter Page, a businessman and foreign policy adviser to the campaign; and Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative who said he was in touch with WikiLeaks at one point before it released a trove of emails from John D. Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, last August. Stone later said he had communicated with WikiLeaks through an intermediary.

Trump appeared Saturday to suggest that warrants had been issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. He claimed that the Obama administration had once been "turned down by court" in its supposed efforts to listen in on conversations by Trump and his associates.
Unexplained activity

In the fall, the FBI examined computer data showing an odd stream of activity between a Trump Organization server and Alfa Bank, one of Russia's biggest banks, whose owners have long-standing links to Putin. While some FBI officials initially believed that the computer activity indicated an encrypted channel between Moscow and New York, the bureau ultimately moved away from that view. The activity remains unexplained.

There is no confirmed evidence that the FBI obtained a court warrant to wiretap the Trump Organization or was capturing communications directly from the Trump Organization.

During the transition, the FBI ??? which uses FISA warrants to eavesdrop on the communications of foreign leaders inside the United States ??? overheard conversations between the Russian ambassador to the United States and Michael T. Flynn, whom Trump had named national security adviser.

Trump has pointedly and repeatedly questioned in conversations how it was that Flynn's conversations were recorded and wondered who could have issued a warrant.

After The Washington Post reported that Flynn and the ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, had discussed sanctions that the Obama administration had just imposed on Russia, Flynn was pushed out of his post by the White House because he had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about the nature of the calls.

The Breitbart article cited mainstream news reports and concluded – going beyond the public record – that the Obama administration had "obtained authorisation to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign; continued monitoring the Trump team even when no evidence of wrongdoing was found; then relaxed the NSA rules to allow evidence to be shared widely within the government."

Levin, a day earlier, railed about what he called a "much bigger scandal," claiming – again with no proof – that Obama and his aides had used "the instrumentalities of the federal government, intelligence activity, to surveil members of the Trump campaign and put that information out in the public."

Several senior members of Trump's White House staff did not respond to an email requesting on-the-record responses to questions about Trump's Twitter posts.

Rep. Adam B. Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, denounced the "willingness of the nation's chief executive to make the most outlandish and destructive claims without providing a scintilla of evidence to support them."

Even some Republican lawmakers questioned Trump's accusations. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska issued a statement demanding that the president reveal everything he knows about any wiretaps or warrants.

"The president today made some very serious allegations, and the informed citizens that a republic requires deserve more information," Sasse said, adding that "we are in the midst of a civilization-warping crisis of public trust."

Taping calls seems to hold a spot in Trump's consciousness. He spent many years taping his own phone calls as a businessman. During the campaign, Trump's staff members told reporters they feared that their offices were being bugged.

But Trump's latest allegations represented a sharp change in his tone toward Obama.

The current president has frequently spoken about how much he admires Obama for the gracious way he handled the transition. But since taking office, Trump has frequently clashed with the intelligence agencies over the Russia inquiries, including efforts to examine the attempts by that country to influence the presidential election and the contacts between Trump's aides and the Russian government.

In recent days, the president has appeared increasingly angry about leaks of information that he believes are coming from law enforcement and intelligence officials who are holdovers or recently departed from Obama's administration.

People close to Trump have described him as determined to stop those people from sabotaging his administration. One adviser said Friday that the president had been discussing a possible plan to try to prevent leaks from occurring. The adviser declined to elaborate on what the plan might entail.

Two senior administration officials said Trump had tried for two days to find a way to be on an offensive footing against the news articles resulting from leaks; one person close to Trump said his explosive claim was a result of that.

Trump's mood was said to be volatile even before he departed for his weekend in Florida, with an episode in which he vented at his staff. The president's ire was trained in particular on McGahn, his White House counsel, according to two people briefed on the matter.

Trump was said to be frustrated about the decision by Jeff Sessions, his attorney general, to recuse himself from participating in any investigations of connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. Trump has said there were no such connections. Trump, who did not learn that Sessions was recusing himself until after the decision was made, told aides that it gave an opening to his critics on the Russia issue.

White House, still offering no evidence, demands probe of whether Obama abused executive power

The White House on Sunday called on Congress to investigate whether former President Obama abused his executive powers in connection with the 2016 campaign, but continued to offer to evidence to back up the claim.

The demand came amid a swirl of claims and counter-claims about Russian meddling in the presidential election. U.S. intelligence agencies have said such interference took place, and connections between the Trump camp and Russia are under investigation by the FBI.

Saturday on Twitter, President Trump accused Obama of “wire tapping” his New York headquarters, Trump Tower. He offered no evidence to substantiate the claim, which an Obama spokesman labeled false.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer followed up Sunday with a statement citing “very troubling” reports of “politically motivated” investigations during the 2016 election campaign. He did not cite the source of the reports.

“President Donald J. Trump is requesting that as part of their investigation into Russian activity, the congressional intelligence committees exercise their oversight authority to determine whether executive branch investigative powers were abused” in advance of the presidential election, Spicer said in the statement.

The former Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, interviewed Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," said he had no knowledge of any electronic surveillance having taken place at Trump Tower, which served as Trump's headquarters during the 2016 campaign and transition to power after his election.

If a warrant for such surveillance had been obtained by the FBI under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, “I would know that,” Clapper said.

Clapper also said a report by the overall U.S. intelligence community did not contain any proof that the Trump camp had worked in concert with the Russians in order to tip the election to him.

Why would Obama want to tap Trumps telephone?

Obama wasn't running for re-election. It was Hilary Clinton who was running & she didn't take Trump seriously. In fact no one in the Democrate party expected Trump to win the election. You have to wonder how Trump can accomplish anything during his term in office. Many that he has nominated have either withdrawn or come under fire. So far he has only tweeted & attacked people & the US instituitions .

Trump is not helping by throwing all these wild allegations without any proof. As president he should be uniting the people & not attacking them or criticising the american instituitions. If he thinks there is a problem he should be trying to fix them.

Trump is feeling the heat ...the investigations by various groups are closing in on the Russian connections. It is the Russians who have been bailing him out with tons of dough and Trump, in return, helps Putin and his oligarchs to launder money. So, major diversion launched on Saturday. Fortunately, Washington Post, New York Time and MSNBC are focus on digging out the truth.

Overall is USA is sinking and regardless which leader run the sinking ship, it is demolishing something in order to get resources for something else, completely unlike their grandfather's era when they could had everything and still excessive resources abundant. Ang Moh Trump already demolished what Nigger built in the past,to build other objectives in his own vision, which are things that Nigger demolished from other presidents' built in the further past. They have to fuck and fight each other, spying and sabotage and screwing each other. USA sinks only deeper and faster in this way. Very simple only. Very HUAT!
