Congress : Investigate Allegation that Obama Wiretapped Trump<\/h2>\n

President Trump has alleged that then-President Obama wiretapped phones in Trump Tower prior to Election Day.<\/p>\n

This is a serious allegation that deserves our attention. Federal law prohibits any President from directly ordering a wiretap, but it allows a President\u2019s administration to seek a wiretap warrant in court. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 states that wiretaps can be conducted without any evidence of a crime being committed so long as the target of such surveillance is thought to be an agent of another country.<\/p>\n

Reports are circulating that a FISA court granted a wiretap warrant on several members of Trump\u2019s inner circle and potentially even Trump himself.<\/p>\n

Might have the Trump Russia rumors been enough to get Obama\u2019s Administration a warrant to wiretap Hillary Clinton\u2019s political opponent just before Election Day?<\/p>\n

Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) have formally asked the Department of Justice for any warrants or government records related to a wiretap of Trump Tower.<\/p>\n
