Again Trump defends his unsubstantiated claim that President Obama ordered surveillance on his phones.\u00a0 Apparently another Trump alternative f<\/em>act distraction.<\/p>\n

Trump is saying that information could be revealed that could<\/em> <\/strong>prove him right. Again he gave no evidence to support his allegations.<\/p>\n

This is reminiscent of birther activities back in 2011 when he\u00a0\u00a0claimed that \u201can \u2018extremely credible source\u2019<\/em>\u201d called him to tell him President Obama’s birth certificate was fake. If memory serves he was going to drop a real bombshell on that one. Result? A yuuuuuge nothing. <\/strong>Why, it wasn’t true. Just Trump BS.<\/p>\n

So, anyone willing to place odds on this one? True, or, another <\/strong>Trump falsehood?<\/p>\n

Trump again offered no evidence to support his wiretapping accusation, but he maintained\u00a0in\u00a0an interview with Fox News Channel that information would soon be revealed that could prove him right.<\/p>\n

\u201cWiretap covers a lot of different things,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI think you’re going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump made his comments during an interview with Fox host Tucker Carlson that is scheduled for the cable channel Wednesday evening. {MORE<\/a>}<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
