trump tweeted of wiretapping during his election by former president barack obama. >> reporter: an early morning tweets from president trump had a bombshell accusation. he accused former president barack obama of wiretapping him during the election, tweeting, "terrible! just found out that obama had my 'wires tapped' in trump tower just before the victory. nothing found. this is mccarthyism!" and "how low has president obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. this is nixon/watergate. bad (or sick) guy!" the tweets seem to reference a story from friday that brought up and unsubstantiated report that the obama administration wiretapped the trump tower in 2015. >> i do not know if it is true, bit if it is true, it would be
