Monday CNN reported a breaking, exclusive story: the FBI had tapped the phones of Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign manager, during the campaign and after the election. Manafort has a residence in Trump Tower. It has also come to light that Trump foreign affairs advisor, Carter Page, was also surveilled. It is a near certainty that Manafort and Page spoke to Trump during the surveillance period. And since almost anyone in the Obama Administration appears to have had the authority to have the identities of individuals who were "inadvertently" surveilled unmasked, Trump was also almost certainly indirectly wiretapped.
Back in March, President Trump claimed that President Obama had his phones tapped during the campaign. As a result of this new revelation, looks like he was probably right. Sorry CNN, Trump scooped this story 6 months ago.
