Trump accuses Obama of “treason” for “spying” his 2016 election campaign

President Donald J. Trump accused Obama of treason and spying on his 2016 presidential campaign, specifying that the Democratic ex-president committed a “treacherous” act.

Such statements are found in the new book “Inside the Trump White House: The True Story of His Presidency” by writer Doug Wead. “What they did was treacherous, do we agree? It was treacherous, ”said the president according to quotes published by the Washington Examiner.

“The interesting thing about all this is that we caught them spying on the elections. They were spying on my campaign. So you know what is that all about? ”Said the president.

“I never said this, but the truth is that they got caught spying. They were spying, ”reiterated the president, who ended up adding:“ Obama ”.

The accusations add to the assertions made in April by the attorney general, William Barr, who determined that he should ensure that the Obama administration had not “abused its surveillance powers.”

Attorney General William Barr earlier this year said he was looking into whether “improper surveillance” may have occurred in 2016. “I think spying did occur,” he said.

He has tasked a prosecutor to look into Obama officials and other officials who sparked the Russia collusion investigation into Trump after a report showed no collusion. New reports on that investigation described it as “criminal” in nature.

“It turned out I was right. By the way,” Trump told Wead in excerpts provided to Secrets. “In fact, what I said was peanuts compared to what they did. They were spying on my campaign. They got caught and they said, ‘Oh we were not spying. It was actually an investigation.’ Can you imagine an administration investigating its political opponents?” said the president.

In the book, Trump said that the Russia investigation undercut his presidency.

“Anybody else would be unable to function under the kind of pressure and distraction I had. They couldn’t get anything done. No other president should ever have to go through this. But understand, there was no collusion. They would have had to make something up,” he said.
