Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday raised questions about President Trump's claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower before the election.
In an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press," Schumer said Obama has "flatly denied that he has done this."
"And either way, Chuck, the president's in trouble. If he falsely spread this kind of misinformation, that is so wrong," Schumer said.
"It's beneath the dignity of the presidency. It is something that really hurts people's view of government."
Schumer said if this is the case, it shows the president doesn't know how to "conduct himself."
"On the other hand, if it's true, it's even worse for the president," Schumer said. "Because that means that a federal judge, independently elected, has found probable cause that the president, or people on his staff, have probable cause to have broken the law or to have interacted with a foreign agent."
Schumer called that possibility "serious stuff."

Bet on it.
The warrent trail shows Schumer was bold face lying, Trump not only was spied on, and it provided proof that there was No Russian connection.
Not only did he lie that there was no wire tapping, he knew there was no Russian connection when he lied about that!
When you are Democrat, you lie, it’s what you do...
I ain’t buying it:
One response says this information was already shared and vetted to the NYT.
Another mentions that she claims hackers PLANTED evidence on Weiner’s computer of sexting with underage girls.
She’s a loon.
Trump responds:
Oh, I ain’t buyin’ it either, this is just the last gasp of the !RUSSIANS! flanking. To keep hope alive on the Left.
One wonders if Trump was feeding them false information through their wiretaps during the campaign as they seemed so wrong about everything.
“American voters are not going to support one party spying on another in such an overt way.”
It wasn’t a political party, it was the U.S. government doing the work for a political party. Soviet style, probably even some assassinations.
I agree. The FISA was a CYA move. NSA doesnt use FISA. DoJ only requests one when charges and criminal proceedings are contemplated. The Progs should go back and watch vids of one of their favorite TV shows, the Good Wife.NSA surveillance isacted our rather specifically, oarticularly in the show’s last two seasons.
Note that he lies saying federal judges are elected. Of course they aren’t.
Obama tapped the phones and bugged Trump Tower and Sessions’ Senate office.
Imagine all the political discussions and strategies they tapped. The Russian conspiracy theory was just the pretext to get what they wanted: dirt on Trump.
This is beyond Watergate. They used our intelligence agencies, not some private hired thugs, as political spies.
By the way, Foreign Intelligence Services is the Russian one, Foriegn Intelligence Surveillance is the American one. This bimbo claims Russia is handing transcripts over.
Even if it is true, which I doubt, Russian claims ain’t jack. What’s in OUR files?
Handed them to McCain along with details of his pissing party in Moscow, right?
Ya gotta hand it to Schmuckie, he spins it so if it’s heads Trump loses, if it’s tails Trump loses. This is the language and logic of idealoge facists.
Federal Judges are independantly elected Schmucky! They are appointed by the President!
He speaks of dignity, this despicable sub human knows only what he prides himself on, self engrandizing, blather, spew and corruption
I laugh at anbd ridicule these LIB idiots like shumer. This putz is such a duplicitous a** and life-loser. I will really laugh when then frog-marching begins. No quarter.
Obama through abuse of power like we have never seen in our history,6 weeks before the election wire tapped Donald Trump in totally phony pretext and false affidavits. The purpose had nothing to do with Foreign banks. It had to do with listening in on the campaign, Michael Flynn and AG Sessions in criminal violation of the law. Those evolved should be quickly imprisoned. There has never been one centiliter of evidence of Russian hacking or any other envolvement— Nothing — None— Where is that proof? There is none and never was . This is a cover for blatant and illegal spying on our president which goes on TODAY!! Trump phone was illegally tapped in his phone conversations with the goofy Australian prime minister!! We all know that. Sessions was weak in recusal. I hope he leaves. It is my suggestion that at adjournment Trump scorch the earth with appointments including Justice first deputy and obtain someone with a spine. McConnell is complicit in the delay!! It is time he is exposed. Trump should give him 1 week to get this done or we are just going recess appointments INCLUDING SUPREME COURT on the 19th of March and they cannot stop us. We also need a bloodbath of firings and transfers to Alaska IMMEDIATELY. This is a WAR NOW!!
Bingo. That’s exactly what I’ve posted a couple of times over the last 18 hours. LOL.
Chuck means that former President Obama is in trouble. Both Schumer and Obama are known liars, "If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor."
Time and again Trump has been proven CORRECT, much to the dismay of the corrupt press.
At least 63 million voters agree with Trump.
That was McCain’s last chit. Now he has to jump parties or just retire.
