Rand Paul Hints He May Have Been Surveilled by Obama in 2016 – Townhall
Senator Rand Paul sent out a cryptic message on Twitter Friday morning, saying that he "hasformally requested from the WH and the Intel Committees info on whether I was surveilled by Obama admin and or the Intel community."
I have formally requested from the WH and the Intel Committees info on whether I was surveilled by Obama admin and or the Intel community!
This closely aligns with President Donald Trump's claim that he was wiretapped by Obama administration officials duringthe 2016 campaign in his New York office.
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
Paul also wrote,"Did the Obama admin go after presidential candidates, members of Congress, journalists, clergy, lawyers, fed judges? Did the Obama admin use warrantless 'wiretapping' on other candidates besides (Donald Trump)?" in two separate tweets.
