Woodward: Obama Administration Officials May Face Charges for Trump Wiretapping


Not only was Donald Trump right about wiretapping, Obama officials involved in the scandal may now face criminal charges:

The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward warned on Wednesday that there are people from the Obama administration who could be facing criminal charges for unmasking the names of Trump transition team members from surveillance of foreign officials.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said earlier that he had briefed Trump on new information, unrelated to an investigation into Russian activities, that suggested that several members of Trump’s transition team and perhaps Trump himself had their identities “unmasked” after their communications were intercepted by U.S. intelligence officials.

The revelation is notable because identities of Americans are generally supposed to remain “masked” if American communications are swept up during surveillance of foreign individuals.

During an interview on Fox News, Woodward said that if that information about the unmasking is true, “it is a gross violation.”

This development is no doubt a vindication for Trump. The press had continuously claimed that there was no truth to Trump’s claims. Not only were they true — the Obama administration may have done something highly illegal in the process.
