Sen. Warren: Trump's Wiretap Accusations Designed ‘to Distract the American People'

Donald Trump’s unfounded claims that Barack Obama ordered Trump Tower to be wiretapped were made to distract journalists and the public from the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia, Sen. Elizabeth Warren alleged Monday. “This man clearly does not know how to conduct himself,” Warren said. “He is president and he’s out tweeting about ratings on ‘The Apprentice,’ and making wild accusations, with no foundation, about our former president? President Trump is failing. He knows it, and he’s trying to find a way to distract the press and to distract the American people. I don’t think we should help him get away with that.”
