Trump accuses Obama of wiretap plot

President Donald Trump has angrily accused former President Barack Obama of orchestrating a “Nixon/Watergate” plot to tap the phones at his Trump Tower headquarters last fall in the run-up to the election. Citing no evidence to support his explosive allegation, Trump said in a series of five tweets sent Saturday that Obama was “wire tapping” his New York offices before the election in a move he compared to McCarthyism.
