Barack Obama Seen In Handcuffs For Charges Of Illegal Wiretapping Of Donald Trump Is Fake – Business 2 Community

Former President Barack Obama seen in an image handcuffed before a judge and charged with illegal wiretapping President Donald Trump is fake and has been used in many fake news articles. The leaked photograph depicting Obama in handcuffs and facing charges of wiretapping Trump is a fake image that is being recirculated on social media to falsely claim Obama is being charged with Trumps allegations of wiretapping.

Trumps most striking claims to date are a series of tweets, accusing Obama of wire-tapping Trump Tower during the election. They were not backed up by any evidence. Where did this fake image originate this time?

On May 16, 2017, Daily USA Update published an article featuring a supposed leaked photograph depicting Obama handcuffed before a judge and facing charges that he wiretapped Trump. You can read the fake story below.

BREAKING: LEAKED PICTURE OF OBAMA BEING DRAGGED BEFORE A JUDGE IN HANDCUFFS FOR WIRETAPPING TRUMP

After Trump made it clear that Obama had illegally tapped the phones at Trump Tower, the FBI issued a warrant for his arrest. Since then, little has been heard from the former president other than a denial.

This morning, Obama was stopped at a checkpoint at Toronto International Airport, where he was trying to fly to an unknown destination under the alias Bruce Wilekenmeyer. The CRMP officer who stopped him recognized him beneath a fake mustache, took him into custody and turned him over to the US Embassy.

After a short transport back to Washington, Obama was brought before a special session of US District Court where he could be formally charged and ordered not to leave the country before being released into his attorneys custody.

A court reporter who also moonlights for Breitbart took great personal risk to snap this photo since there are no photographs, video recording or any other recording devices allowed in federal courtrooms unless specifically ordered by a judge.

Here are some examples of people sharing the fake image and news on social media.

Neither the image nor the claim were new in May 2017, according to Snopes. They were originally published in March 2017 by the fake news site Last Line of Defense, whose disclaimer reads as follows:

DISCLAIMER: Americas Last Line of Defense is a satirical publication that uses the imagination of liberals to expose the extreme bigotry and hate and subsequent blind gullibility that festers in right-wing nutjobs. We present fiction as fact and our sources dont actually exist. Names that represent actual people and places are purely coincidental and all images should be considered altered and do not in any way depict reality.

Trump shakes hands with Saudi leader, doesn’t bow as Obama appeared to do – Fox News

President Trump upon arriving in Saudi Arabia on Saturday did not bow to the Gulf leader as former President Barack Obama appeared to do-- a move interpreted as American weakness.

In 2009, Obama appeared to bow to then Saudi leader King Abdullah at a G-20 summit in London.

Videos show Obama bending at the waist toward the king. The White House at the time purported denied that the president had bowed, with a source saying Obama was taller than the king, so he had to lean.

Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia marks the start to his nine-day, overseas tour that will also take him to Israel and Europe. The international trip is Trumps first since taking office in January.

Trump was greeted at the Saudi airport with an elaborate ceremony, punctuated by a military flyover and a handshake from Saudi King Salman.

First lady Melania Trump wore a black pantsuit with a golden belt and did not cover her head for the arrival, consistent with custom for foreign dignitaries visiting Saudi Arabia.

The 81-year-old King Salman greeted Trump at the airport. The two leaders exchanged pleasantries and Trump said it was "a great honor" to be there.

Two things need to happen, Zuhdi Jasser, founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, told Fox News on Saturday about Trumps trip. President Trump needs to shore up our alliance with the Sunis who feel abandon. And that starts with Saudi Arabia. And in the short-term, he needs to create a coalition that will decimate and defeat ISIS.

Obama critics said the former president suggested several times in 2009, just after getting elected, that the United States owed the Arab world an apology.

There have been times when America has shown arrogance even dismissiveness, Obama said that year in France.

Upon Trumps arrival Saturday, Several jets then flew overhead leaving a red, white and blue trail.

Saudi Arabia offered Trump the elaborate welcome ahead of his two-day stay. Billboards featuring images of Trump and the king dotted the highways of Riyadh, emblazoned with the motto "Together we prevail."

Trump's luxury hotel was bathed in red, white and blue lights and, at times, an image of the president's face.

Trump and the king met briefly in the airport terminal for a coffee ceremony before the president headed to his hotel before the day's other meetings.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
