Despite having left office almost two months ago, former US President Barack Obama seems to be continuing to call the shots at the White House, according to the Russian online newspaper Gazeta.ru.
Earlier this week, White House spokesperson Sean Spicer said during a press briefing that US President Donald Trump maintains his allegations of wiretapping conducted by former US leader Barack Obama.
Trump had made the allegations over Twitter on March 4, claiming that then-President Obama had authorized surveillance on Trump Tower during the lead-up to the November 2016 presidential election.
Trump called the “wiretapping” by the Obama administration a “new low” and a return to the era of McCarthyism.
It is worth noting that the relationship between Trump and Obama quickly deteriorated after Trump’s inauguration on January 20, with the current US administration stressing the need to “dismantle the last bits of Obama’s legacy.”
According to experts, verbal attacks on Obama are connected with the fear that the former US President continues to influence the country’s Democratic Party even after his resignation.
