Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told NBC News that Donald Trump’s accusation that Barack Obama tapped his phones last fall indicate “the president is in trouble.”
Said Schumer: “If he falsely spread this kind of misinformation, that is so wrong. It’s beneath the dignity of the presidency… it shows this president doesn’t know how to conduct himself.”
He added: “If it’s true, it’s even worse for the president. Because that means that a federal judge, independently elected, has found probable cause that the president, or people on his staff… have probable cause to have broken the law or to have interacted with a foreign agent.”
