OBAMA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WIRETAPPING: “President Donald Trump suggested Monday [5-1-17] he still believes his unsubstantiated allegations that President Barack Obama illegally tapped his phones during the 2016 campaign.
‘I think our sides been proven very strongly and everybody’s talking about it, and frankly, it should be discussed — I think that is a very big surveillance of our citizens. I think that’s a very big topic. And it’s a topic that should be No. 1, and we should find out what the hell is going on,’ Trump said in an interview with CBS’ John Dickerson that aired Monday morning.
‘I don’t stand by anything. I just, you can take it the way you want. I think our side’s been proven very strongly,’ he added.”
