President Donald Trump made some serious accusations this morning, claiming that then-President Obama wiretapped the phones at Trump Tower just before the election:
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

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!

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!

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

Former head of the DNC and Vermont Governor Howard Dean seems to know exactly how everything went down:
This means a judge found probable cause that Trump was engaging in criminal activity and issued a warrant for a wire tap https://t.co/cj85vrd7hp

Dean seems pretty sure, but in any case that’s sure to be picked up as a talking point on the Left.
Being a presidential candidate at the time, the bar to issue one was probably quite high.

No. It's been reported that surveillance of Trump associates' contacts to Russian nationals was sought by FBI under Obama
