Trump under fire for accusations against Obama

Vanessa Villanueva, Reporter

 Donald Trump has made accusations of Former president Barack Obama’s conduct, claiming that he took part in having Trump’s office wiretapped. Many are speculating that this is just another trick up Trump’s sleeve to veer the attention away from Trump’s controversial ties with Russia.

    In accusing Obama of illegally wiretapping Trump’s office during the 2016 presidential election, he has crossed a legal line in the eyes of many as he made defamatory remarks against Obama without any evidence. This gives Barack Obama grounds to file a lawsuit against Trump for libel, one that would put Trump in an unfavorable position as his chances of coming out of it unscathed are slim.

    According to a Senior U.S. official, it seems that our current president tweeted recklessly as he did not stop to consult his administration or officials that might have known if his office had indeed been illegally wiretapped. The full consequences of this accusation remain to be seen.
