But on Friday, Breitbart News that Radio host Mark Levin used his Thursday evening show to outline the known steps taken by President Barack Obama’s administration in its last months to undermine Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and, later, his new administration.”
Mark Levin claimed that Obama had been involved in a “silent coup” using “police state” tactics during the election campaign.
Trump, who started the Twitter rant at 5:30am US eastern time, branded the claims a “new low” before calling Obama a “bad (or sick) guy”.
I’d bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was wire-tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!

“Is it legal for a sitting President to be “wire-tapping” a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW” added Trump in a later tweet.
“I’d bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was wire-tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!” continued Trump. “How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!”
Later he added:
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires-tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
