Obama Was Wiretapping Jeff Sessions Too?

President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, made another unsettling claim on Sunday regarding the controversy behind Barack Obama and illegal wiretapping.  

During an interview with Fox News, Lewandowski said that Obama did not only listen in on President Trump's dealings at Trump Tower, but that he also listened to then-sitting Senator Jeff Sessions and his office on Capitol Hill.

“They did spend time listening to conversations between then-Senator Jeff Sessions and the ambassador to Russia while he was in his Senate office,” Lewandowski said. “If that were to take place — which supposedly did take place — what other conversations did they listen in on from the American public?”

He also reaffirmed President Trump's accusation against Obama.

“Is it possible that that previous administration was listening to the conversations that took place in Trump Tower from their political opponents? If that is the case, and what Donald Trump alludes to is accurate, then that’s very, very disturbing for our future going forward.”
