Trump's comments were made during his roughly 45-minute-long phone call to Sean Hannity that was aired live on Fox News’ 'Hannity' Thursday evening.
President Donald Trump on Thursday revealed that his March 2017 claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower was made on “a little bit of a hunch” and called the alleged situation “a coup.”
“I don’t know if you remember, a long time ago, I used the words 'wire tap' and I put it in quotes, meaning surveillance, spying, you can sort of say whatever you want,” the president continued. With no evidence, Trump accused Obama of spying on his campaign on Twitter just months after he was inaugurated. “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!,” Trump tweeted on March 4, 2017 from Mar-a-Lago.
“I think spying did occur,” Barr told lawmakers, “but the question is whether it was adequately predicated. And I’m not suggesting it wasn’t adequately predicated. But I need to explore that.”
