President Trump accuses Obama on Twitter of wiretapping him <\/p>\n

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my \"wires tapped\" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! <\/p>\n

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! <\/p>\n

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! <\/p>\n

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

Stone denied having direct contact with Assange but said in October that he and Assange \"have a good mutual friend\". <\/p>\n

He even tweeted this tweet about Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta before the Wikileaks emails were released. <\/p>\n

Stone's admission of a link between himself and Assange comes at a time when allegations against him and the Trump administration having ties with Russia are being investigated. <\/p>\n

In an interview with CBS, Stone said this about an investigation into his ties with Russia <\/p>\n

\"Sure, they'll get my grocery lists. \"They may get the emails between my wife and I, but here's what they won't get any contact with the Russians.\" <\/p>\n

He calls the investigation into his alleged ties with Russia a \"witch hunt\". Something President Trump, himself has said in a tweet about the Russian investigation. <\/p>\n
