Heres the washington post’s headline for this story: “Trump cites no evidence, accuses Obama of ‘Nixon/Watergate’ plot to wire tap Trump Tower”

I extracted the following from the first 100 hits on a google search.

The differences in the results were hardly noticeable, the following are the only two instances I caught that were not the the google search.
