Trump Says He Based Charge of Obama Wiretapping on Media Reports – by Terrence Dopp, Billy House, and Chris Strohm March‎ ‎15‎, ‎2017‎ ‎12

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he based claims that former President Barack Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower at least partially on media reports, and remained confident that information emerging in the coming weeks would vindicate his so-far unsubstantiated charge.

The president said in an interview with Fox News that he would submit some “very good stuff” to validate his claims and that he would consider speaking more fully about the allegations as soon as next week. Trump did not specify if he intended to present the evidence to Congress, the public, or some other entity.
“Let’s see whether or not I prove it,” Trump said. “I just don’t choose to do it right now.”

Trump, speaking at length about the controversy for the first time, said his tweet alleging the former president was spying on him was based at least partially on reporting by the New York Times and Fox News. 

He pointed specifically to a Times story from January, which reported that U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies were examining intercepted communications and financial transactions as part of a broad investigation into links between the Russian government and Trump officials. But the story said it wasn’t clear the intercepted communications had anything to do with Trump or his campaign.

Trump also said he had seen a mention of wiretapping during a segment of the Fox News show Special Report with Bret Baier, but didn’t specify what report he was specifically referring to.
