Former Attorney General: Trump Is Right About Surveillance

Another former high level official is supporting the claims that Trump was likely under surveillance…

Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey told ABC News that elements of the intelligence community likely did conduct surveillance of Trump Tower during last year’s general election.

In an early-morning tweet on Saturday, President Donald Trump asserted that former President Barack Obama had ordered intelligence agencies to wiretap Trump Tower in advance of the election. The White House later issued a statement urging an investigation of pre-election surveillance of the Trump campaign, as spokesmen attempted to walk back the president’s claim.

Mukasey, who led the U.S. Department of Justice in the waning days of the George W. Bush administration, said Trump Tower was almost certainly the subject of surveillance, but that orders for such actions were likely issued by the Justice Department and not the Obama White House.
